Ch14 Try It Out Pg. 506

Hi,

I'm working on this try it out and for some reason the title for the ViewDetails.aspx page is not being set programmatically and so my basepage template raises an error.

I have this code in the codebehind...

Code:

Partial Class ViewDetails
  Inherits BasePage

  Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    Dim reviewId As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString.Get("ReviewId"))
    Dim myReview As Review

    Using db As New PlanetWroxDataContext()
      myReview = (From r In db.Reviews _
                  Where r.Id = reviewId _
                  Select r).Single()
      lblTitle.Text = myReview.Title
      lblSummary.Text = myReview.Summary
      lblBody.Text = myReview.Body

      'Set the page title programmatically
      Me.Title = myReview.Title
    End Using
  End Sub
End Class

Maybe I misspelled something and I'm not seeing it.

Update**
When I set the title to the ViewDetails.aspx in markup everything works fine. The title is changed to the proper one once the page loads. The error is being raised before the Page_Load event is triggered. Why is this happening?

Hard to tell why this is happening without seeing the actual error....

Hi,

I am receiving the error that we set up in the base page about the Title of the page being blank.

Hi there,

Yeah, I see now. Sorry I missed that (a reference to the error was in your original post).

I think you're running into an old, annoying (and unfixed) bug:

Setting the title to a non-empty value in markup before you assign it dynamically is indeed the work-around.

Thanks Imar,

While I'm never excited about bugs, I'm relieved that it wasn't something I was doing wrong.

Offtopic: Did you get a chance to take a look at the error list I posted for my other issue?

Complie Issue

*Compile :)

By the way I tried to load the site from my flashdrive on a different desktop and I got the same error concerning the Picture class.

Thanks,
