Hi,

I'm a beginner in asp c#

I'm getting the error message below when running the file teams.aspx in chapter 10.

CS0117: 'System.Web.UI.Control' does not contain a definition for 'DataItem'

Same error when copy and paste the code from downloaded zip file.

The line is
<asp:linkbutton id="TeamNameLink" style="COLOR: darkred" runat="server" CommandName="ShowTeam" CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "TeamID") %>' text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "TeamName") %>'></asp:linkbutton>

Help appreciated

Not to worry, found out what I was doing wrong.

Hi

I am having exactly the same problem as tdk had. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Many Thanks.

Could you post what you found out to be the problem? I'm having the same problem as you.

Thanks

Hi brainfuel.

When you drag a DataList control onto the page, it automatically generates a close tag like </asp:DataList>. Make sure you are putting the controls and data binding code before this.

Hope this helps.
