Answer 1

I figured my problem here. I had a class named "Invoice" on my dbml as well as a page named "Invoice.aspx". This is a WebSite Project as opposed to a WebApplication so .net was correct in saying "Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'Theme' is not a member of 'ASP.invoice_aspx'." blah blah. I wonder why this doesn't show up locally. This site was working fine on my local box, this was showing up after publishing the site to a server. Anyways, this is now working. I just renamed the aspx page and repubbed. <~~if thats a word. lol
Thanks,

Answer 2

Go into the property pages of the deployment project. Under the Compilation tab, uncheck the option "Allow this precompiled site to be updatable". This resolved the problem for me.

Answer 3

Never seen this one before, but I would start by double checking the version setting on virtual directory or website to make sure it is targeting the correct runtime.

Answer 4

Try this:
http://arjansworld.blogspot.com/2006/11/aspnet-20-tip-theme-is-not-member-of.html
Can you put the HTML code up here to let us take a look? Are you sure you cleaned all old DLL's out of the directory you deployed to?

Answer 5

I had the same issue. This has nothing to do with Themes. Check duplicate DLLS in your bin folder. You could remove the
', App_Web_1d5eb-af'
part of your inherit statement. But the issue is a duplicate library in the bin folder, As soon as you identify and delete/move them the error will go away. If not delete them all and rebuild, some remaining legacy dll could be the issue.

Answer 6

I had a similar issue. I found the solution here.
The problem happens when there are 2 partial classes with the same name in the project. In my case, I had renamed Home.aspx.vb to Home-OLD.aspx.vb and replaced it with another page named Home.aspx (and codebehind file). The problem is that I didn't rename the class within Home-OLD.aspx.vb so I had 2 classes named Home in the project.
I ended up commenting out the old Home-OLD.aspx and Home-OLD.aspx.vb code for now and it worked.

Answer 7

If you have validated you don't have a class name collision and you are using a dynamic compilation website, you may need to clear out the Temp ASP files. Review the full path of the error to the .dll and delete the folder it is contained in.
