well I am at a loss, I have the following references in the code behind and still no good.  I got this running with inline code in 10 minutes with no trouble.  Any direction would be appreciated?

namespace digital.Web.UI.FormPreMade
{
    public partial class FormDigital : System.Web.UI.UserControl
    {

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Globalization;
using mojoPortal.Business;
using mojoPortal.Business.WebHelpers;
using mojoPortal.Web.Framework;
using mojoPortal.Web;
using mojoPortal.Web.Controls;
using mojoPortal.Web.UI;
using mojoPortal.Web.Editor;
using mojoPortal.Net;

Ok - thank you so far and I think I have it, but still not 100% working:  here is what I did so far:A

ascx now has - AutoEventWireup="True"
------------------------

when I copied the code from inline it had this:

void chkAutoPostBackTest_CheckedChanged

void ddColors_SelectedIndexChanged

I changed it to this once I noticed it and then it correctly displayed when I did:

protected void chkAutoPostBackTest_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

protected void ddColors_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
-------------------------------

Now I am getting this error when trying to post back: 

The HTTP verb POST used to access path '/' is not allowed.
   at System.Web.DefaultHttpHandler.BeginProcessRequest(HttpContext context, AsyncCallback callback, Object state)

EXCELLENT! - I now have it working.  I have to say that it is this kind of help that keeps me with your product and in my opinion makes if superior to all others.

This is all part of learning for me and I will be making some custom features to experiment with. 

Thanks as always!
