The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Scope Question - "Local Variable Already Defined in Scope"

Asked by AJ0424 in Microsoft Visual C#.Net, Programming for ASP.NET

Tags: C#, asp.net, SQL 2005

Hello!

I am new to development of any kind and I have what I think is a scope problem but I do not know how to fix it.  

What I am trying to do:
The page in question (FileUpload.aspx) is a page that allows a user to upload a file to a folder.  I am trying to capture the fileid (scope_identity) and username (of the user logged in) (I have done this).  The next part is to use the username as a parameter for a stored proc that will return the guid for the username value.

After I have both the fileid and the userid (guid), I need to run an insert stored proc that inputs both to a linking table. This table has an id pk, userid, fileid.


Where I am stuck:
I had help in setting this next part up and I really do not yet fully understand everything that is happening here (at least not enough to really trouble shoot).  What I have is another page (ClientFileRepository.aspx) that has a class with several methods for retrieving data from stored procs.  On the original page (FileUpload.aspx) I am using two methods in one "if" block - one is an insert, the other a select.  The build fails and tells me that "A local variable "repository" is already defined in this scope." but if I rename it, it renames it in both instances.

At this point I am in over my head...I thought I needed them together because each returns a value I need to insert into a table.  I am at a loss as to how this should be rewritten so that I can grab both values and insert them into my table.  I assume this will require yet another method which will just complicate the matter further.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?  Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks,
AJ
