Hi,

Having some trouble declaring a usrcontrol in my code.

Just be be sure I was not doing something odd, I set up a new instance of DNN and all source code.
When I open the DNN solution, this statement fails in exactly the same way as my own code:

Line 172 of the EditVendors.ascx.vb file. Dim objBanners As Banners
Likewise in line 179, same file and other similar declarations elsewhere...

In the first case, the DIM statement claims that Banners is undefined. Std DNN code without a single change.
Namespaces and all controls as-is but it is not "seeing" the usercontrol class in the same namespace!

I'm doing something similar as I've done before in a different project, but cannot declare the control to eventually add to the PlaceHolder...
I'm working in VS2005 and have develped quite a few DNN modules and suddenly hit this, not seeing it before.

PLEASE tell me what could be wrong!! What am I not doing or doing wrong?

THANKS.

 

Hi Mitch, Actually, the DNN simply opens as-is BUT what I'm trying to do is NOT in DNN but a separate project FOR NOW. I'm trying to do what I have done in DNN in this mini project to dynamically inject n number of the same usercontrol into a PlaceHolder. So within the Parent control code, declare a child control and load it then add to the PlaceHolder control as per code similar to this: Dim objBanners As Banners objBanners = CType(Me.LoadControl("~" & [PATH] & "/Banners.ascx"), Banners) 'OTHER PROPERTY SETTINGS HERE divBanners.Controls.Add(objBanners) The issue I'm seeing in both the std. DNN code is that the child control cannot be declared because VS claims that it is undefined. In both cases (DNN and my mini project), the child control is clearly defined within the same namespace. In the sample above, it says Banners is undefined and that is in the DNN code, clean and unchanged. This can't be THAT difficult to achieve! Thanks for ANY advice!
