In step 8 of page 104, I used C# and is supposed to add:
"Result.Text = "Your name is " + YourName.Text;

But every time I key up to "Result." it kick me into this: "DataSourceSelectResultProcessingOptions."

I tried following through with this "DataSourceSelectResultProcessingOptions.Text = "Your name is " + YourName.Text;"

Did I do something wrong in the Properties Grid? I went all over again in steps 1 to 7 a few times. Right now I "stuck".

I thought I found the error in my Properties Grid. But on Ctrl+F5, the following error message occured:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Compilation Error
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: CS0117: 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataSourceSelectResultP rocessingOptions' does not contain a definition for 'Text'

Source Error:

Line 14: protected void SubmitButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Line 15: {
Line 16: DataSourceSelectResultProcessingOptions.Text = "Your name is" + YourName.Text;
Line 17: }
Line 18: protected void SubmitButton_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)


Source File: c:\BegASPNETCS\Site\Demo\ControlsDemo.aspx.cs Line: 16

I will try and see if I got the terminologies correct:

In step 5 of page 104, Figure 4-2 showed "Text" (highlighted) and "Button". When you use the term "Set the control's Text property", you referring to "Button" on displayed in Figure 4-2?

In step 6, this is what I did:
- right click "text box" in Design mode, then click "properties" in the dialogue box. Under Properties, "text" highlighted and there is a empty space next to it. I enter "YourName" in that space.

In step 7, this is what I did:
- right click "label" in Design mode, then click "properties" in the dialogue box. Under Properties, "text" highlighted and there is a "Label" next to it. I manually deleted "Label" and keyed in "Result".

In step 8, this is what I did:
- double click button (which is now "Submit Information") and entered the following:

protected void SubmitButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Result.Text = "Your name is " + YourName.Text;
}

I click Cltrl+F5, it is still an error message.

So I am still stuck after the past few hours of repeated attempts.

It will be helpful if we can communicate the various steps with screen shots. ASP.Net seems alot more complex than Dreamweaver.

Hi Paul,

Looks like you're mixing up stuff and missed a few instructions:

Yes, I am. In 4.2 it still shows Button but you need to change that to SubmitInformation. You then also need to change the control's ID. From the book: "and set its ID (which you’ll find all the way down at the bottom of the list wrapped in parentheses) to SubmitButton."

Nope, you need to change the ID property, not the Text property. From the book: "Change the ID of the TextBox to YourName using the Properties Grid"
Nope. Step one is good (clear the default Text of "Label") but then you shouldn't assign Result to the Text property, but to the ID property. From the book: "Set its ID to Result."

This should work if the Label has an ID of Result and the TextBox an ID of YourName. You can check the Markup view to see if it all looks right.

Hope this helps,

Imar
