I am getting the CS1061 error 'the aspx does not contain a definition for' on a this bit of code within a repeater: '<%# This'
Here's the ItemTemplate section within the repeater:
<ItemTemplate>
<tr style="height:24px;" id="row_<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "CourseIDString") %>" class="<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "StatusClass") %>" title="<%# this.FormatStatusDesc(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "StatusDesc") as string, (DateTime)DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ReturnedDate"), DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "CourseIDString") as String) %>">
<td> <%# this.CreateNewLink(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "CourseIDString") as String) %></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
The error happens both times '<%# this' is used here:
<%# this.FormatStatusDesc(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "StatusDesc") as string, (DateTime)DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ReturnedDate"), DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "CourseIDString") as String) %>">
and here:
<%# this.CreateNewLink(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "CourseIDString") as String) %>
When I right click the .aspx file and click view code it goes into the correct place where these methods are located:
namespace CourseMaker
{
public partial class CourseTemplate_2 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
public String FormatStatusDesc(string statusdesc, DateTime rdt, String courseID{}
public String CreateNewLink(String childCourseID){}
}
The page directive:
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/CourseTemplate_NoAcYear.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="CourseTemplate_2.aspx.cs" Inherits="CourseMaker.CourseTemplate_2" %>
When I type '<%# this.' within the aspx page intellisense does show me other public methods in the code behind page like this method:
public void btn_new_child_onclick(object sender, EventArgs e)
But when I add new methods to the code behind page these do not then show up in the intellisense list.
I have tried the following but still the compiler displays the same error: 1) Cleaned and rebuilt the solution 2) Cleared the contents of all bin folders then rebuilt 3) Deleted the files from the project and recreated them 4) Added 'optimizeCompilations="false"' to the webconfig file
This code has been working correctly in the past, something has changed I'm just not sure what. Any help much appreciated.
