What am I doing wrong?

Hi there,

It sounds like you haven't defined a method called dotForumDisplay_Paged in your ASPX page or Code Behind file.
You hook up the OnPageIndexChanged event to the dotForumDisplay_Paged method, but it's important that this method exists and is accessible....

HtH,

I looked at my code-behind file and I don't see it there. All it has is:

Public Class forum
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

#Region " Web Form Designer Generated Code "

    'This call is required by the Web Form Designer.
    <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()

    End Sub
    Protected WithEvents dotForumDisplay As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid
    Protected WithEvents messageCenter As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl

    'NOTE: The following placeholder declaration is required by the Web Form Designer.
    'Do not delete or move it.
    Private designerPlaceholderDeclaration As System.Object

    Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
        'CODEGEN: This method call is required by the Web Form Designer
        'Do not modify it using the code editor.
        InitializeComponent()
    End Sub

#End Region

    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        'Put user code to initialize the page here
    End Sub
End Class

The I looked at my html source. It has ...

<%@ Page language="vb" Inherits="SLDC.forum" CodeBehind="forum.aspx.vb" AutoEventWireup="false" %>

<script language="VB" runat="server">





</script>
<form runat="server">
    <p>
        <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <b>Forum Topics</b>
                </td>
                <td height="15"></td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </p>
    <p>
        <asp:datagrid id="dotForumDisplay" runat="server" BorderWidth="0" CellPadding="0" CellSpacing="0"
            Width="100%" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowPaging="True" PageSize="15" OnPageIndexChanged="dotForumDisplay_Paged"
            CssClass="forum">
...

Now where could it be?

am i looking in the wrong place?

No, you're looking at the right places. You should find the relevant code either in a Code Behind file, or in-line in the ASPX page.
However, it makes sense that you cannot find it; that's what the compiler is complaining about. Add the method signature to the Code Behind file, or remove the OnPageIndexChanged attribute from your DataGrid, depending on what it is you're trying to accomplish.

Look here for more info about the OnPageIndexChanged method.

Cheers,

I had this same problem, and your diagnosis was right on. I was calling something in my datagrid's onitemdatabound method that no longer existed in my codebehind.

Thanks for the help!

You're welcome.
