Ch9 Page 303

When I get to step 10 and press Ctrl+F5 I get the following build error.

Error 1 '_$safeitemnames$' is not a valid value for attribute 'inherits'. C:\BegASPNET\Site\MyBasePage.aspx 1

Here is the code for MyBasePage - it looks to be the sames as that in the download.

Note: The "_$safeitemnames$" in the code behind has a red underline with the error message: "The type or namespace 'safeitemnames' could not be found."

Any clues?

Thanks
Ken

Code:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPages/Frontend.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MyBasePage.aspx.cs" Inherits="_$safeitemnames$" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="cpMainContent" Runat="Server">
</asp:Content>

and the code behind

Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

public partial class _$safeitemnames$: BasePage
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }
}

the complete error list

Is this the page you used as the basis for the new template? If so, you can delete it as instructed in the book.

If this page is the *result* of your new template (e.g. when you choose Add New Item), something is wrong with the template file.

Cheers,

OK, I deleted MyBasePage and the error has gone away.
Thanks
