Question : Visual Studio .NET build error but website works fine, problem with included script with VB

In Visual Studio 2008 (or 2010) I did "Open a website" on a working website.  When I try a build I get errors on one page named "OnEveryPage.inc".  This page is referenced on every .aspx page with <!--#include file="OnEveryPage.inc"-->

On the problem page (.inc), it begins with:
<script runat="server" type="text/vb">
and is followed by some vb code

The website works - but Visual Studio has a problem building this page, for example gives an error "Illegal syntax" on a line "If A <> B Then".  It doesn't like the < although it is part of a legal VB operator.  There are other errors like nbsp not defined.

How do I get VS to build this page without error?

NOTE: The solution needs to be in Visual Studio, not any change to the website (like renaming a page, changing a page,  or redesign).

Thank you

Hmm, puzzling.

I think the reason the first error would be on the < would be because of its use in XML...
