Hi all,

I am writing a module in C# and when I try and run it I get this error: "The name 'EditURL' does not exist in the current context".

All the code is there, as far as I can see. The iActionable in the class declaration, etc...

This is in the CodeBehind for the iActionable Members:

[CODE]

#region IActionable Members

    public DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.Actions.ModuleActionCollection ModuleActions
    {
        get
        {
            //create a new action to add an item, this will be added to the controls
            //dropdown menu
            ModuleActionCollection actions = new ModuleActionCollection();
            actions.Add(GetNextActionID(), Localization.GetString(ModuleActionType.AddContent, this.LocalResourceFile),
                ModuleActionType.AddContent, "", "", EditUrl(), false, DotNetNuke.Security.SecurityAccessLevel.Edit,
                true, false);

            return actions;
        }
    }

#endregion

[/CODE]

Does anyone have a solution for this error, or be able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,

Hi and thanks William,

yes my module does inherit the PortalModuleBase, code below:

using DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules;
using DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.Actions;
using DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions;
using DotNetNuke.Services.Localization;

namespace SawDesigns.Modules.HotBox
{
    public partial class ViewHotBox : PortalModuleBase, IActionable
    {
 

This is what has confused me with the error.

In the end I copied code from a working module to the problem module and it made no difference. So I rewrote it.

Thanks for the help.

OK, I know what the problem is and I bet it happened to the original poster as well.

After stepping away for a bit and then coming back to look at the problem, I realized what was going on. I am developing in C# and all the examples and sample code is in VB. After opening the PortalModuleBase.vb file, I realized that the function call was EditUrl where as the error was telling me EditURL, noticae the capitalization. C# is case sensitive where VB is not and, thus, the error.

I should have seen this the first time sometimes you cant see the forest for the trees. I hope this helps someone in the future who is copying code from the core modules into a C# project. Remember case sensitivity.
