Try it Now, Chap. 4, Pg 123

As I was typing the code, "Result.Text"... on each line, the intellisense was trying to turn it into msgresult.... - why is that?

Hi there,

Don't know; I guess it depends on the context, and how you wrote your code exactly. Maybe you had "suggestion mode" turned on and msgresult was into scope somehow?

You can switch modes using Ctrl+Alt+Space.

Cheers,

ok, thanks, but I don't think that was it. When I finished typing those two lines, I still had the little blue squgglies under them, as if they were wrong. I compared your code - which I had downloaded -- with mine, and couldn't see the difference. I thought that I must not have defined the label correctly, so that the code didn't recognize that I had a control named "Result".

The bigger problem is that I spend so much time fooling with it, that by the tme I got it to work, I had forgotten the point of the exercise!

Yes, that's a common cause for IntelliSense confusion. If it can't find the stuff you're typing in, it tries to find close matches which are not always accurate...

How did you get this to work?

Hi there,

Are you running into the same issue? Then make sure you have a Label control called Result defined in the markup of the page. Then save your changes and switch back to Code Behind. Result should now appear in IntelliSense. If it doesn't close and reopen the page or even VWD, although the latter shouldn't be necessary.

Cheers,

To help a future vistor to this problem solve a similar issue, would you mind explaining *how* you solved it? ;-)

In Design view, select the Label (which now contains the text "Type your name"). In the Label Properties, change the ID to Result. That's it!
