My original post seems to have disappeared so will try again.

I'm working my way through Beginning ASP 2.0 and rather than use VB, I've downloaded the C# files and am going through these.

I seem to have something set up incorrectly as I'm not seeing the views I should. if I open a file, say editsquad.aspx.cs in VWD, the book says I should be able to select DetailsDataSource from the left hand menu and Updated event from the right hand one. Now I appreciate that DetailsDataSource isn't in c# but all I get in the left hand menu is 'editsquad'. Is this right? Does c# behave differently from VB in the browser?

I appreciate this is an extreme newbie question, but that's what I am.

Many thanks

Mark.

Ah there you are, I was about to post on your last one then it just vanished.

I have the C# version of the book, and am struggling to find the section that you are on. What exactly is it you are trying to do?

C# behaves as it is programmed to behave the same is true of VB, the difference is in the syntax and a few features nothing more.

Let me know.

Mark: Your original post didn't disappear, I moved it to the forum for the book you are discussing, here's the link:

Sorry for the confusion. You should have received an email notification from our system when I moved the post, could be an email block between us and you if you didn't. :)

Hi Graham and Jim. Thanks for both your replies.
Jim: just looked at the topic link and there aren't any replies so if you don't mind, I'll continue in this forum :) - it is a virtual studio query, it's just that I was plodding through the particular book when it appeared.
Graham: I'm on page 201, chapter 6 now and have come across the same problem again. If you do the 'try it out', point number 5 asks you to go to the dropdown lists on the top. I have these two lists but the left-hand one just shows the name of the file 'editsquad.aspx.cs', nothing else and the right hand one shows, amongst others, DetailsDataSource'. If I click on this, it just takes me to the EditSquad.aspx file and not to an empty event procedure. I have a feeling this is something I'm not understanding rather than an error but do feel rather stuck. Hope I've explained this OK.
Many thanks
Mark.

Ok finally think I have found the difference, sorry about the delay.

In the C# version of the book it reads:

6) Create an event procedure for the Updated event of the Details data source, by selecting the DetailsDataSource control and double-clicking into the Updated event when viewing the events in the properties page.


I think (do not quote me on this) that they are referring to this bit of the code, which you can see in the END folder of the C# version:



This is the line that directly refers to the Updated method. I also have the same issue with the drop down list, however it is interesting in that the C# version does not refer to it at all in the TRY IT OUT, may be it’s something to do with the build of Studio the book was written using. If my mind served me correctly then the C# version was done with a Beta perhaps it has changed in the final release.

To be truthful however, I code everything straight by hand, very rarely using a control so I have never noticed that quirk before.

Good luck, I hope that this solves your problem.

Regards
Graham
