Solution

  • You have named your aspx file as CKEditor, the same name as your control assembly name having a namespace with same name, so there is a collision.

    Try changing your aspx name to something else such as CKEditorTest.aspx instead of CKEditor.aspx

    Its always better NOT to name your project, solution, class, control, literal, namespace etc. by any of the reserved keywords or other existing controls, classes, namespaces.
