Implementing the NavigateURL Property, Chapter 8 ???

Imar,

This should be a quick question, i hope.

Using:
VS2010 Pro
SQL Server 2008 Developer

I've done the Implementing the NavigateURL Property "try it out" and it works. However, Visual studio is giving me an unsettling squiggly line in part of the new code.

Within the AboutUs.aspx.vb file the Banner2.NavigateURL has a blue-ish squiggly line under it with the warning/error: "'NavigateURL' is not a member of 'ASP.controls_banner_ascx'." What's the deal?

The block of code:
Partial Class About_AboutUs
Inherits BasePage

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
Banner2.NavigateURL = "http://imar.spaanjaars.com"
End If
End Sub
End Class

Also, may be completely unrelated but within the MasterPage Frontend.master i was getting a warning that <LevelStyles> are not supported. Not sure about that one either. I commented the opening and closing tag out and the masterpage functionality doesn't seem to be affected. What are your thoughts on this?

Thank you,
Christopher

Hi there,

Could be a timing issue. Sometimes, VWD doesn't pick up changes like that. Try restarting VWD or rebuilding the website (right-click the project in the Solution Explorer and choose Build / Rebuild).

Could be the same isue. Sometimes VWD gets behind a bit with interpreting the IntelliSense options. Rebuilding the site, or reopening the page, or restarting VWD typically fixes these issues.

Imar,

Well, you were right about the Banner2.NavigateURL block of code. When I restarted VS it stopped giving me the warning and the squiggly line went away.

However, I'm still getting an error on the <LevelStyles> tag within the Frontend.master file. The error reads: "Validation (XHTML 1.0 Transitional): Element 'levelstyles' is not supported.". I opened up your final version of the site within VS as a new web project and oddly enough I'm not getting the same warning. Any ideas about what I may need to do to remove the <LevelStyles> warning based on the error message described above?

Thank you,
Christopher

Yeah, so I had:

Code:

 
<LevelStyles>
  <asp:TreeView ID="TreeView1" runat="server" CssClass="FirstLevelMenuItems" 
    DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" ShowExpandCollapse="False">
  </asp:TreeView>
</LevelStyles>

And you had:

Code:

<asp:TreeView ID="TreeView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" ShowExpandCollapse="False">
  <LevelStyles>
    <asp:TreeNodeStyle CssClass="FirstLevelMenuItems" />
  </LevelStyles>
</asp:TreeView>

It dawned on me that I had the final project file and maybe I should compare your final file with mine.

A, that makes sense.... :-)
