Question

I’m working on an inline page to display some course information and keep getting a compilation error with the use of ‘var’.

Can you check the following line of code and recommend ideas on fixing it.

//Get basic template details
using (var objConn = new SqlConnection(strConnection))
{
objConn.Open();

My imported namespaces look like as follows.

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Text" %

Any ideas?

EDIT

Version of .Net on the server – Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0

Thanks.

You’ll either need to switch to using C# 3.0 and .NET Framework 3.5, or you’ll need to stop using the var keyword and specify the correct type, such as:

using (SqlConnection objConn = new SqlConnection(strConnection))
