Question

I want my emails to be read into a Grid view, but i keep getting an error and i have no idea why?

This is the code that i have used to insert my grid view, but when i hit run it fails.

<asp:GridView ID="gvEmails" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnSelectedIndexChanged="gvEmails_SelectedIndexChanged">
    <Columns>
        <asp:BoundField HeaderText="From" DataField="From" />
        <asp:HyperLinkField HeaderText="Subject" DataNavigateUrlFields="MessageNumber" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="~/webFormShow.aspx?MessageNumber={0}"
            DataTextField="ubject" />
        <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Date" DataField="DateSent" />
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

This is really strange considering i copied this code from one of my working programs??

The error below is all the info they give me

Compiler Error Message: CS1061: ‘ASP.displaymaillist_aspx’ does not contain a definition for ‘gvEmails_SelectedIndexChanged’ and no extension method ‘gvEmails_SelectedIndexChanged’ accepting a first argument of type ‘ASP.displaymaillist_aspx’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

What am i doing wrong??

They did not give me much info, so i can only provide this little bit 🙁 but i sure hope someone can help.

OnSelectedIndexChanged=”gvEmails_SelectedIndexChanged” remove it from your aspx or add the event in the cs class. This exception occurs when code is missing from code behind.
