ASP.Net error while migrating website to a new server

Question

I was migrating my site to a new server, it's in .NET and I don't have much experience with the language. However I tried searching for the fix but had no success. Can someone help?

The error:

compiler Error Message: ASPNET: Make sure that the class defined in this code file matches the 'inherits' attribute, and that it extends the correct base class (e.g. Page or UserControl).

Source Error:

Line 1:  <%@ Page Title="" Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/EnjoyMaster2.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_Default" %>
Line 2:  
Line 3:  <asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">

You need to post the code-behind file as well... – David W Sep 12 '12 at 19:14 — David W, Sep 12 '12 at 19:14

Ensure that the Inherits property and the class defined in this code file uses the same name and try and add the namespace before the class name e.g. Inherits="namespace._Default".

Error 4 Make sure that the class defined in this code file matches the 'inherits' attribute, and that it extends the correct base class (e.g. Page or UserControl).

If you have already checked: inherits attribute, codefile attribut, namespaces, and you still have problem it might be web.config issue (pageBaseType).

<configuration>
<appSettings>
    ...
</appSettings>
<connectionStrings/>
<system.web>
    <pages pageBaseType="System.Web.UI.Page" />
...
