Question

I’m getting an error on my partial method and I’m not sure why. I figure common errors relate to not naming the two partial classes exactly the same and what not, but that’s not the case here.

So, I have some generated code, which can be seen here:

Well, that’s not all of it, but I think it’s the relevant part.

So, I wanted to create another partial class so I could house these partial methods and get them to have some functionality. So, I created a class and added just one of the functions, as can be seen here, to test:

Now as I’ve read the guides online, this should work. I mean obviously I’ve not understood everything, but I don’t know. Oh, here’s the error, by the way:

I guess that’s a little hard to read. It says,

No defining declaration found for implementing declaration of partial method WCFServiceSQLAccess.DomainContext.HydraDomainDontext.UpdateClients (WCFServiceSQLAccess.DomainContext.Client).

Hopefully you can offer some suggestions.

It’s very simple – you’ve got two different classes: HydraDomainContext and HydraDataContext. Either change the name of the generated class, or the name of the manually-written class – they’ll have to match in order to create one complete class with the partial method implementation matching the declaration.
