Hi,

I'm trying to have a login page; after logging in the user has to see the list of SQL Server Databases available to him/her. I'm always getting the error

'ASP.login_aspx' does not contain a definition for 'btnSignIn_Click'

I have the btnSignIn_Click function defined in a codebehind .cs file - The file name is Connect.aspx.cs. I made a DLL and have that DLL in the Bin subfolder (Bin\Connect.dll).

Here's the command I used for making the dll -

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\xml\dotnet>csc /out:Connect.dll /r:System.dll,System.web.dll,System.Data.dll /t:library Connect.aspx.cs

Here's the code I wrote for Connect.aspx.cs
/**********************************************************************************/

myreader = strsql.ExecuteReader();
}

Msg.Text=sqlerr.ToString();
}
}
}
}

Can you please tell me what is causing that error ? I've been breaking my head asking everyone, and Googling everything I can.


Thank you.

You have to rebuild the cs file and copy the builded .dll file in the bin
sub folder again

If you use OnClick attribute in the page's HTML view, the name is expected
to be on the page script and not in the code-behind. If you want to use a
handler in the code-behind, remove OnClick attribute, go to design view and
double-click the button. The code-behind will open on the right function. Or
you can select event handler in the button properties panel on Events tab.
Or you can do it without design view whatsoever. Just go to the code-behind
and add a line for registering the event-handling method for the Click
event of the button:
btnSignIn.Click += new EventHandler(this.btnSignIn_Click);

When you do it in the design view, this line is added to the automatically
generated InitializeComponent() method.

That's not actually true. I'm using

<% Page Inherits="myNamespace.myPage" %>

with a compiled codebehind page and I can assign event handlers with OnClick
just fine.

It seems like InitializeComponent is only there for the designer....

Eliyahu Goldin

Thank you for the correction about inheritance, you are right.

InitializeComponent does have a use in run-time. When you add event handlers
via design view, VisualStudio creates private methods in the code-behind and
doesn't create OnClick attribute in the aspx. Then it is InitializeComponent
that actually establishes links between controls and their event handlers.

Hello everyone...after your tips I did some more trial and error and now
the code is working. I'm able to fetch the db list. All I did was replace

codebehind="Connect.aspx.cs"

with

Inherits="MyNS.Connect"

in the login.aspx page, after including the CodeBehind in a namespace MyNS.
I'd appreciate any explanation for this difference in behavior.

Thank you once again for all who responded.
