Question

I have an ASPX file with this button:

<asp:button id="cmdPartnerInfo" runat="server" Font-Bold="True" 
    Text="Partner Info" TabIndex="3">
</asp:button>

And in the ASPX.VB file I have this Sub:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    cmdPartnerInfo.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return ShowPartnerContatcInfo();")
    imgStaff.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return AddStaffSelection();")
    lblDt.Text = ""

... snip ...

End Sub

However, there is a squiggly line under cmdPartnerInfo and the message is:

Error 38 'cmdPartnerInfo' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its 
protection level.

So it looks like the code in the vb file doesn’t see the asp control in the aspx page.

Any help figuring out why this is happening is appreciated.

Thanks!
Eric

UPDATE:
These are the two directives at the top of the ASPX page.

<%@ Register TagPrefix="Card" TagName="Banner" Src="~/banner.ascx" %>
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="projectpartlog.aspx.vb" Inherits="Project_and_Partners_Log" %>

Answer 1

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="projectpartlog.aspx.vb" Inherits="Project_and_Partners_Log" %>

This directive means:

1. The file name for your “code behind” should be projectpartlog.aspx.vb

2. The Class name in the projectpartlog.aspx.vb file should be Project_and_Partners_Log

   Partial Class Project_and_Partners_Log
       Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
   
       Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
   
       End Sub
   
       Protected Sub cmdPartnerInfo_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdPartnerInfo_Click.Click     
   
         'Code.....
   
        End Sub
   
   End Class
