Hello Everyone

I am currently trying to create a base page, following the second "Try it out" exersice.

I have followed all the steps but I seem to have made a mistake. I replaced all the System.Web.UI.Page to BasePage using the Find and Replace utility, and saved all the changes. When I launch the browser page I get the following error.

Compilation Error
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: CS0246: The type or namespace name 'BasePage' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Source Error:

Line 6: using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
Line 7:
Line 8: public partial class _Default : BasePage
Line 9: {
Line 10: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)


Source File: c:\BegASPNET\Site\Default.aspx.cs Line: 8

I'm confused as to what I have done wrong and have completely no idea how to fix this. I feel that I am a little out of my leauge. I would be greatful for any advice.

Hi there,

Is this about my book Beginning ASP.NET 3.5 in C# and VB? If so, you're better off posting these kind of questions in its own forum, located here: http://p2p.wrox.com/book-beginning-a...0-18759-3-389/

That said, did you place the BasePage in its own namespace? And are you sure you are using a Web Site Project and not a Web Application Project (do you have 1 or two code behind files for each page?) Where did you store the BasePage.cs file ad how does its code look?

if you provide more info, I am sure we can work this out.

Cheers,

Imar

Hello Imar

Yes this is from your book "Beggining ASP.NET 3.5 In C# and VB" Sorry I posted in the wrong forum. I will supply the information needed on the link you posted.

*edit*

Actually I will be starting over again. I dont think I was picking up on what you was explaining in the book as I find it difficult to learn by paper. It's embarresing to admit that I dont understand how to explain nor answer your questions.

Thanks for your time

Steve

No problem. You can continue here for now, or start over in the other forum.

Cheers,

Imar

Hi,
Most probable reason for this error must be because your BasePage is not deriving from System.Web.UI.Page

Cheers
