The name does not exist in the current context
<p>I have a masterpage in my asp.net 3.5 application and I have some controls and jquery stuff. I try to access the controls in codebehind and it says :</p>

<pre><code>The name 'DrpStates' does not exist in the current context  
</code></pre>

<p>Why it is not accessible in codebehind ?</p>
