Hi

I'm having a problem with renaming the bulleted control in my project.Using the step by step instructions it gives an error message:Invalid identifier.How do you suggest a way to work around this problem,so the results come out exactly shown on page 441.

Hi there,

Make sure the ID of the control starts with an l from list, and not with a 1 from first. E.g. it should be called

Code:

lstReviews

and not

Code:

1stReviews

Hope this helps,

I did what you suggested an after running it,it gave me this:DataBinding: '<>f__AnonymousType0`2[[System.String, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089],[System.Data.Linq.EntitySet`1[[Cell_Makes_2, App_Code.1rk23bjr, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]], System.Data.Linq, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]' does not contain a property with the name 'CellMakes2'.("CellMakes2 being the name of my database in my project").What could be the problem?

Can you post your code for the control? Looks like you're trying to bind to a non-existing column.

Also, are you building Planet Wrox or your own site?

Will do.here it is:public partial class AllPhones_By_Kind : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (Cell_WareDataContext myDataContext = new Cell_WareDataContext())
{
var allTypesOfPhones = from typesofphones in myDataContext.TypesOfPhones
orderby typesofphones.Name
select new { typesofphones.Name, typesofphones.Cell_Makes_2s };

Repeater1.DataSource = allTypesOfPhones;
Repeater1.DataBind();

}
}
}
<asp:BulletedList ID="lstCellMakes2" runat="server" DataSource='<%# Eval ("CellMakes2") %>' DataTextField="Title">
</asp:BulletedList>.
I'm building my own web-site,using the planet-wrox book as a guide.

Hi there,

Take a look at this:

Code:

select new { typesofphones.Name, typesofphones.Cell_Makes_2s };

and this:

Code:

<asp:BulletedList ID="lstCellMakes2" runat="server" DataSource='<%# Eval ("CellMakes2") %>' DataTextField="Title">

You're projecting (selecting) Cell_Makes_2s, but you're binding to CellMakes2.

You need to update the control to match the properties you're selecting.

Hope this helps,
