Hi all

Here's today's dumb newbie question.

Maybe I've missed a tutorial somewhere, but I was under the impression that once I had an aspx working all I had to do was copy and paste the bit between the <form> tags into the ascx and copy the VB code. So, I have a form with a Formview and a whole load of entry items. It all works well, as an aspx. I copied it across to the ascx.

After many hours of narrowing things down, I find that my Dropdownlists (the normal country/region/city thing) don't like me including 'OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlCountries_SelectedIndexChanged' - a build gives me ''ddlCountries_SelectedIndexChanged' is not a member of 'ASP.Test'. It was a member in the aspx so I'm wondering what I've missed.

Google found a few others who have had the same thing but there was nothing in there that I hadn't already tried. So any advice will be very much appreciated.

TIA

Cheers

Ian

  Hi Kelly

Many thanks for your reply. I've trimmed out all the unnecessary stuff. I'm sure you don't need to see 150 lines of SQL. :)

So, View.ascx:

<%@ Control Language="VB" ClassName="Test" CodeBehind="View.ascx.vb" Inherits="DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="asp" %>

<snip>
<asp:FormView ID="fvTest" runat="server" DataKeyNames="UserName" DataSourceID="sdsTest"
        DefaultMode="Insert" CssClass="formview">
<snip>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCountries" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlCountries_SelectedIndexChanged">
                                        <asp:ListItem Text="--Select Value--" Value="0" />
                                    </asp:DropDownList><br />
<snip>
<asp:formview />


and the View.ascx.vb:

Imports System.IO

Partial Class DesktopModules_Test_View
    Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl


Protected Sub ddlCountries_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

<snip>


End Sub

End Class

I hope I've included enough to give you an idea. I know I'm doing something silly, but can't see what it is. I've played around with it quite a bit, so I'm not really sure what I had to start with now.

Many thanks

Cheers

I would recommend getting an example module to compare against to see how it all ties together. I would download this visual studio module template, create a new module and look at how it sets it up, then change your structure to be similar.

Seeing a basic module as an example is very helpful if you are new to creating modules.
