Hi,

In chapter 8 of the book page 280, the code: <Wrox:Banner ID="Banner1" runat="server" /> is giving me an error, which is: "ELement 'Banner' is not known element. I've checked the web.config and everything is correct as instructed in the book.

Can someone, please help.

Thanks
Khalil

Hi Khalil,
The problem sometimes occurs for me. There is not one solution to problem. Check following solution:
1- Build your web site using build menu.( If not worked use rebuild web site)
2- remove all file inside C:\Users\[User name of PC]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Refle ctedSchemas (if You are using windows seven).
Hope it help you.
If it not worked please comment.

Hi Seyed,

Thannk you for your assistance.

Unfortunately, I've tried everything and nothing worked. When I removed the "Reflected Schema", things became much worse.

Regards
Khalil

Hi Khalil

Can you post the code for the web.config file? Have you tried restarting Visual Studio?

Dear Imar,

I have restarted Visual Studio several times and even compared my codes with the downloaded ones and cannot find anything wrong. My web.config codes are:
[<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>
<system.web>
<pages theme="Monochrome">
<controls>
<add tagPrefix="Wrox" tagName="Banner" src="~/controls/Banner.ascx" />
</controls>
</pages>
<compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
</configuration>/]

Thank you for attending to my query.

Regards
Khalil

Hi Khalil,
Can you paste your aspx page codes?
and also make sure your project have not compile error and also make sure you run your project in debug mode (Using F5).
Thanks

That looks fine to me.

Could it be that you have an error elsewhere? For example, maybe there's an issue with the Direction enum or the code behind of the banner? What happens when you comment out all code related to the Direction enum? Does it work there?

Another issue is what is your url when you run project in browser address bar?
Is it like http://localhost:xxxxx/YourprojectName or http://localhost:xxxxx/

Hi Imar,

I've commented out the Direction enum and still has the problem.Please take a look at my masterpage code:

I now have something new about Banner2, which has an error that says:
"Banne2 is not declared.It may be inaccessible due its protection level"
