Build errors

Wilfredo Rosado · January 3rd, 2010, 01:47 AM

I get a warning message in my VWD shown below:

Warning 1
The class or CssClass value is not defined.
h:\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\Site\Controls\ContactForm.ascx
line:178 column:17

If I just preview Contact.ascx in browser, it seems to run with just a minor difference than the book's example, The please wait... comes out at bottom of screen and the PleaseWait.gif is displayed on top of screen. Below is the part of the code that is giving warning:

Code:

<asp:UpdateProgress ID="UpdateProgress1" runat="server" AssociatedUpdatePanelID="UpdatePanel1">
  <ProgressTemplate>
    <div class="PleaseWait"> --Note: This is line 178...PleaseWait has green squiggly line under it.
      Please Wait...
    </div>
  </ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>

Below is the code entered into the Monochrome.css:

Code:

.PleaseWait
{
  height: 32px;
  width: 700px;
  background-image: url(Images/PleaseWait.gif);
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  padding-left: 40px;
  line-height: 32px;
}

Any ideas?

do you have added a link to that style

put your class in StyleSheet.css file and then add this code to your page (in head part)

<link href="StyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

if you have done this and problem does not solved you can rebuild your project and close VWD and open it again

Hi Fred ,

The warning is not a problem; VS simply doesn't know that the UC is used in a page where the Monochrome theme is applied so it can't find references to the various styles. At run-time everything comes together and then it works as expected. You can safely ignore the warning.

With regard to the location, are you sure your CSS and HTML for the page is in order? The width of PleaseWait is larger than its parent (700) so maybe the div just wraps to the next line? Try decreasing it to 500 as shown in the book.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Imr

Hi Imar,

I originally had it at 500 as the book stated and it was doing the same thing. I just now tried it at 400, but the same results. I captured the screen, but I have no way of getting it to you so you can see what is happening.

I will try to describe it. Apparently, the words "Please wait..." show up at the left side of the footer area, while the PleaseWait.gif image shows up at the top of cpContentMain area on the left side and behind the words "Get in Touch with Us". It eventually sends the email and then times out, taking me to the page where it displays "Message sent". I do recieve the email with all the content on it.

My undrstanding from the book is that the PleaeWait.gif image shows up at bottom of cpContentMain with the words "Please wait..." immediately to its right.

Well this is not a big issue right now as I am only experimenting, but would like to eventually know how to properly correct this for future endeavors.

Thanks,

Fred

Hi Fred,

You can send me a message at my personal web site (at http://imar.spaanjaars.com/). I'll reply so you know my e-mail address. If you then send me a zipped copy of the site, I'll take a look and let you know what the problem is.

Cheers,

Imar
