Problem with Try it out on p283

Happy New Year!

I am having an issue with the try it out on page 283. I know the example shows the wrong way first but I would still like to learn from it.

I entered

if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
Banner1.DisplayDirection = Direction.Vertical;
}

In the page load. The text says verify that the banner user control has an ID of Banner1. The page did not say to add the Banner user control to about us, so I assume it is referring to the user control that is placed in the masterpage.

When I try to build the site I get the following error.

Name Banner1 does not exist in current context.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Looks like you're missing step 11 at the top of page 281:

Quote:

11. Open the page AboutUs.aspx from the About folder in Visual Web Developer in Markup View. If you donât have that file, create it first. In the cpMainContent ContentPlaceHolder add some text describing you or your organization and the reason you created the site. Switch to Design View and drop the Banner.ascx control from the Solution Explorer onto the design surface, right below the text you just added.

Hope that helps,

Imar

Thank you very much. I had deleted that.
