When I right click on 'default' page and select 'build page' option there is no error. All textboxes names shows normal, once I start editing on page, again is shows errors on all textboxes names.

I have no idea what is going on...!

You opened the Visual Studio project as a web site when the project is a web application. In Visual Studio click File -> Open -> Project/Solution. Then navigate to the project or solution file.

Hi @shahbaz ladak ,
You can try these two methods:

1. Please right click on .designer.cs and select "include in project"
2. Right-click the project and convert to a web application to solve it. This creates the necessary designer.cs file, which contains the code for the asp object on the aspx page.
   Maybe you can provide the code for the ASPX page.
   Best regards,
