Organizing code chapter question

techiegeekster40 · January 11th, 2014, 04:39 PM

On chapter 5, page 178-179 - where it says you can find the namespace and add the required Imports (VB) or using (C#) statements you need by typing in the class name, putting the cursor on it and pressing CTRL + dot (.) - Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional does not do this. I tried several times.

Anyone else having this problem? Looks like I'm going to have to remember all the namespaces and where things are, huh? Oy!

So far, I LOVE this book. I've been working with ASP Classic, Javascript, T-SQL, and other languages for the last 16 years. ASP.NET has come a long way since 1.0, and I find it to be a lot more to my liking now.

Thanks for publishing this.

Hi there,

Glad to hear you like the book so much.

Can you post the code you're trying this on?

Sure!

here it is:
// Start code
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
SmtpClient

public partial class Demos_CalculatorDemo : BasePage
{
...
}
// End code

I had my I-Bar cursor in SmtpClient and was pressing CTRL + . on my keyboard. Nothing happened. I didn't get any menu that popped up (like figure 5-5) Just FYI.

Ah, you're typing it in the wrong location.

You should type SmtpClient somewhere in a method like a button click handler or the page's Load method (where you're going to use the SmtpClient) and then press Ctrl+Dot on SmtpClient which will then insert using System.Net.Mail at the top of the document.

Hope this helps,

Imar
