Ch 14 Page 485 Try-It-Out problem

ken evans · January 16th, 2010, 09:03 PM

I carefully followed the instructions from page 485 to page 488
However, when I run the page I get the error message below:

Any clues anyone?
Thanks
Ken

Hi Ken,

You may want to check your speling: it's PlanetWroxDataContext with an x and not PlanetWroxDataContent.

Did you reolve the other issue you e-mailed me about?

Hi Imar,
I changed the spelling but I still get the same error message.

I skipped the LINQ chapter because I read somewhere that MSFT may be planning to deprecate LINQ in favour of ADO.NET. Furthermore, I plan to try my best to make exclusive use of the SqlDataSource.

Could it be that by skipping the LINQ chapter, that I failed to create something that is needed in Ch 14?

Page 486
Also, I had problems with the instruction "Bind the LinqDataSource control to the Genres table" (top of page 486). Of course I put it in the code but the LinqDataSource control Wizard didn't have the Genres table in it.

My earlier post - Page 344 problem
I have posted this problem three times but it still does not appear in the Forum.
1. My first post was two days ago. The post was there for almost a day. There were 0 replies and more than 30 views. Then it just disappeared. (Just before my post disappeared I had edited it to include the "code" tags.)

2. Following your advice, I posted the problem a second time. This was about 30 minutes before the post that started this thread. I waited for a while but this second post did not appear. Then I saw that THIS post had appeared. So...

3. I posted the problem a third time. And we are still waiting...

There must be a trace in the DB log for this Forum but I don't know who to ask about it.

Thanks for a great book.
Ken

Yes, you need to follow the LINQ chapter in order to follow along with later chapters. You'll create the model (and the DataContext) that you use in later chapters.

You can get a copy of the source for the LINQ chapter from the downloads that come with the book.

Try reporting your forum problem here: http://p2p.wrox.com/p2p-wrox-com-feedback-56/ I get e-mail notifications when something has been posted, but I haven't seen a thing. In the mean-time, you can send me the full post text by e-mail and I'll take a look.

Maybe your post contains bad words, or words that look like bad words so it gets filtered? Just a guess....
