I have a grid that is named grdUserActivity. I’m not sure what the error means.

The name ‘grdUserActivity’ does not exist in the current context

C#

public partial class frmViewPersonnel : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!Page.IsPostBack)
        {
            // Declares the DataSet
            dsUserActivity myDataSet = new dsUserActivity();

            // Fill the dataset with what is returned from the function
            myDataSet = clsDataLayer.GetUserActivity(Server.MapPath("PayrollSystem_DB.mdb"));

            // Sets the DataGrid to the DataSource based on the table
            grdUserActivity.DataSource = myDataSet.Tables["tblUserActivity"];

            // Binds the DataGrid
            grdUserActivity.DataBind();
        }
    }
}

.ASPX

    Not sure if this is a type-o

    But your aspx file is pointing to frmUserActivity rather than frmViewPersonnel

    <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="frmUserActivity.aspx.cs" Inherits="frmUserActivity" %>

    So either you are editing the wrong .cs file, OR the wrong .aspx file 😉

    EDIT

    After seeing your edits, your frmUserAcitivty aspx page does not contain the grdUserActivity control. So of course it wont be found.
