Hello, i am having this problem. The exact error message is:

"Unable to generate code for a value of type 'System.Web.UI.Page'. This
error occurred while trying to generate the property value for Page."

After a lot of googling, all i can find that this applies to is when trying
to use enum-type datatypes as bit-vector flags, or when use designers to
make an expandable property in the property tool-window. However, NEITHer of
these cases apply to my page. This is only happening on one page in the
project. But the stack trace of the error (included at the end) gives me no
hint of where to even start looking to fix it, of WHAt exactly might be
wrong with the page.

Thanks in advance,
- Arthur Dent.
