Chapter 8 [p.286]

Hey all,

I'm really stuck on this part and can't seem to debug the issue. Please lend me your collective wisdom to resolve this!

I have Direction.cs in App_code, which only contains an enum (as the instructions say to do).

I have registered Wrox:Banner in Web.Config and triple checked to ensure all is correct (everything was working in the previous step.... adding the property has broken it somehow).

My banner code behind matches the solution Wrox has, except I've had to wrap it in the following:

Code:

namespace begASPNET.Controls

So the compiler knew what HorizontalPanel and VerticalPanel was. Otherwise, it underlined them in red asking me to define them.

When I go to run my code, I'm getting this error:

Code:

Compilation Error

Source File: c:\Users\Nathan\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\begASPNET\begASPNET\MasterPages\Frontend.Master    Line: 43

It's not liking my Wrox:Banner and I'm really at a loss...

Does it work when you move the file out of App_Code? I am thinking you created a Web Application Project and not a Web Site Project. When you expand a page like Default.aspx, how many code behind files does it have? Do you see a .designer.cs file?

Thanks for the reply.

Taking Direction out of app_code and placing it into the root directory seems to fix the issue.

When I expand Default.aspx, I have:
Default.aspx.cs &
Default.aspx.designer.cs

When it came time to make the project, I only had this option available:

Is there a way I can keep Direction.cs in App_Code in my current project? I don't understand why my using statement isn't fixing the issue?

Hi there,

Yeah, it's what I thought. You created a Web Application, not a Web Site which behaves differently.

>> When it came time to make the project, I only had this option available:

Yes, because you chose File | New Project, not File New Web site.

Checkout the section "Different Project Types" on page 34 and further for the differences between the two and the exercise on page 38, especially step 2, for detailed instructions of what you should have done.

I would recommend taking the source from Chapter 7 that comes with the book and use that as your starting point for Chapter 8.

Cheers,

Imar
