What happens when you delete a button from a web form

[chelvis]

I created a web form with a text box and a button. I named the button as 'butSign'. Then I deleted that button. Then again I created another button and tried to name is as 'butSign'. But it wouldnt let me name is because it says a button in that name already exists.

So even if you delete a button at design mode, it still exists? How can I permanantely delete a button or any other control (textbox, label etc) from a web form so when I create it again with the same name, I dont get this error message.

try editing hte coding of what you are doing and removing the entire line that defindes the buttons variable and what that said button does.

You may have to delete some code-behind code when you delete the button.

Yes, that worked. Thanks
