Hi,
I am a beginner in ASP.Net and i am glad that i found the right book for me.
Currently, i am working on chapter 8, and i am on page 283(implementing the NavigateUrl property) .I am trying to add code to the code behind of AboutUs.aspx, where i get an error, that "Banner1 does not exist in current context". here is the code.

Code:

public partial class AboutUs : BasePage
{

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      if (!Page.IsPostBack)
      {
        Banner1.DisplayDirection = Direction.Vertical;
        
      }
    }
}

I also checked the ID of Banner in masterpage and it is the same as Banner1. Also everything before this seem to work perfectly fine. Could you pls let me know, where am i making mistake?

thanx!
Arya

Hi Arya,

Good to hear you like the book.

Did you also add the Banner control to the About page? The code in the code behind is using a Banner control defined in that page, not the one in the Master page (as it's not accessible from a page).

Hope this helps. If not, please post the Markup for the About page as well.

Cheers,

Imar

Thank you Sir, for your prompt reply.
Now i got the point. I added Banner to to AboutUs.aspx. and then changed ID in code behind according to it. It solved an error.
thanx again
