Really? I thought the code-behind page helped you separate the VB code from the HTML, making it easier to read. Wasn't that a problem with classic ASP?

Hmm, I am not sure. I have not intentionally defined my own Namespace, but that doesn't mean I didn't do it accidentally :-). Do you know where I would check?

Intellisense doesn't give me any parameters for SqlConnection, although it does for System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection. Weird. I wonder where it is getting the definition from.
