I have a problem with the Repeater ID (PlayerList) being out of scope in my Sub TeamList_ItemCommand()
I am using Visual Studio instead of Webmatrix and am writing all Functions and Subs in the back file Teams.aspx.vb. I get the following error report in my Task List - 2 Build Error tasks shown (filtered)

***************************************
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WroxUnited1\Teams.aspx.vb(83): Name 'PlayersList' is not declared.

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WroxUnited1\Teams.aspx.vb(84): Name 'PlayersList' is not declared.
***************************************

what is the correct procedure for bringing this Object Name back into scope?

Note the coding for the first element of the Table on the Team.aspx page worked OK.
Can anyone tell me where to find, in Visual Studio, an equivalent Wizard to that used in the book for Webmatrix? I am writing this code copied from the book.
Many Thanks,
Edward.

In Visual Studio, when you put a control on the page in the designer, it will also create a declaration in the code-behind file that looks like this:

Protected WithEvents myControl As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Repeater

This is what forms the link between the control that is instantiated declaratively in the markup. Once you have this, any code within the page class will be able to access the control.

Do you have this?

Hi planoie, yes I can see the line that you listed and on running the program again it appears to have passed the Sub TeamList_ItemCommand() however ??

************************************************** ********************
    Protected WithEvents TeamList As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataList
    Protected WithEvents PlayersList As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Repeater <-------

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

however I now have a new error with SelectedTeam shown as Private?

************************************************** ********************
Compiler Error Message: BC30390: 'WroxUnited1.Teams.SelectedTeam' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Private'.

Source Error:

Line 37: <headerTemplate>
Line 38: Players in:
Line 39: <%= SelectedTeam %>
Line 40:
Line 41: </headerTemplate>


Source File: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WroxUnited1\Teams.aspx Line: 39
************************************************** ********************

I have declared this at the top of my back page as follows

************************************************** ********************
Public Class Teams
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
    Dim SelectedTeam As String

#Region " Web Form Designer Generated Code "
************************************************** ********************

is this the intended position for this declaration and is it "Private"? guess so!

I have changed the declaration to "Public SelectedTeam As String"
the code compiles but the new Repeater Object is not visible?

Any suggestions?
