file could not be loaded into the web forms designer -- error

[Guest]

Hi,

My project's original code works as expected, the problem is after we had
added our project to our sourcesafe, my teammate got the latest version and
all the pages could not be viewed in the designer. I'm using vsual Studio
2003.

below is the exact error:

the file could not be loaded into the Web Forms designer. Please Correct the
following error and then try again.

The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes
within it can be designed. the designer inspected the following classess in
the file:

TestPage --- The designer for base class 'System.Web.UI.Page' is not
installed.

Make sure all of the classes used in the page are built or referenced in the
project.

You lose the reference into your project. Go to Solution Explorer, open
References node and check if you can see the reference to this web class
library.

yes you're right. I looked at it and its pointing to my local folder which is
not existent on my teammate's machine. Moreover, it has a different default
namespace, so I changed both (default namespace and path). The problem now is
my project's output converted into a classlibrary, I don't remember any
action of changing it, but it did. Any idea on how I would put it back on
original configuration? or any light on how this may have happened?

Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, its really suppose to be that way (Classlibrary issue). but the
problem still exists.
