asp.net master page w/vb code not working

Is the new one called "Default.aspx" or some other name?

prairiedog,

I renamed the file default.aspx to OriginalDefault.aspx on the server.  So when the page loads it should be loading the correct file, default.aspx.

Thanks for he assistance,
Brian

You will also need to rename the class name. Open up originaldefault.vb and you will see a line at the top of the page says: Partial Class _Default, change "_Default" to OriginalDefault.

Then open originaldefault.aspx in HTML mode, at the very top of the page where says CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb", change it to CodeFile="originaldefault.aspx.vb".

Run your code again to see if it works.

prairedog,

Thanks, however the one I'm trying to make work is the new default and the associated code behind file that are based on the master page.  In other words, I'm trying to get default.aspx and default.aspx.vb working.  I provided the original files as a reference to help others help me.  Sorry about any confusion.

Brian

I understood your problem.

Since you kept the old default page, and its class name is also call "partial class _Default", which means you have two classes with the exactly same name in your application. It might be the problem, because the new default.aspx does not know which class to call to. If you don't want to change those names, then you can temporarily exclude them from yoru project and then run your application to see if ti works.

Becuase I only want to use the new default.aspx file based on the master page, I deleted the old, original, versions from the directory.  Now I only have default.aspx, default.aspx.vb and the masterfile file in the directory.  Thes files match the two file I uploaded ealier, default.aspx(.txt) and default.aspx.vb(.txt).  I added the extension txt to allow the files to upload.

Now I believe I only have one class named '_Defualt' in the code behind file default.aspx.vb.  With this change I get the same results as articulated earlier.  The database does not update nor is any email sent.  When the submit button is clicked I get the message "Sorry, an error occured. Please try again later."

P.S.  I'll be leaving shortly, so it will be later tonight or tomorrow morning before I can check back in.  Thanks for the help.  I will try to check right before I leave.  

It looks like that an exception ocurred while trying to send email. Change your try/catch block as follows:

Try
           body = String.Format("New Registration: " + System.Environment.NewLine + _
                            OptInName.Text + ", " + OptInEmailAddress.Text)
            Dim toAddress As String = OptInEmailAddress.Text
           'email = New MailMessage("email@address.com", toAddress, "New Registration", body)
           email = New MailMessage("email@address.com", toAddress, "New Registration", body)
           email.Attachments.Add(New Attachment(Server.MapPath("/attachment.txt")))
           smtp.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials
           smtp.Send(email)
            AddRegistrationToDB(OptInName.Text, OptInEmailAddress.Text)
           Response.Redirect("ThankYou.aspx")
 Catch ex1 As System.Threadign.ThreadAbortException
       Catch ex As Exception
           'Temporarily remove lines so that we can see the error message.
      End Try

I added another Catch because Response.Redirect will also generate an exception, but we don't need to worry about that exception.

Re-run your app and post the error message.

Ok, I changed it accordingly.  When I entered the information it simply 'refreshed' the screen.  Leaving what I typed into the fields and showed no error message.  I checked the database and no new entry nor was the email delivered.

Here is what I have in the default.aspx.vb file...

            Response.Redirect("ThankYou.aspx")
      Catch ex1 As System.Threading.ThreadAbortException
        Catch ex As Exception
'            lblMessage.Visible = True
'            lblMessage.Text = "Sorry, an error occurred.  Please try again later."
        End Try

Strange.

Put a break point on the button's click event handler and then step into your app to see what is happening.

Prairiedog,

I would set the break point if I could.  I have created this code on my pc and I upload this to my server.  

The part of this that is truely strange is that if I place the original versions of default and the leave the same code behind file, default.aspx.vb, it works just fine.  It was only when I created the master page and then created the new default from the master file that this stopped working.

Based on the chain of events I think the default.aspx file is where something is messed up.

Thanks!
Brian

>>>I have created this code on my pc and I upload this to my server.

Did the app work on your own pc?

I do not have MySQL installed on my pc so I'm not able to test it on my pc.  I'm literally creating the file locally and then uploading it to the server for testing.

1. How do you upload?

2. A dummy question, did you compile the site before uploading?

prairiedog,

In a fit of despration, I deleted the entire directory on the server and recopied all the files to the server.  Something must have been corrupted as it all works fine now.  This is really strange.

I guess the moral of this situation is when nothing makes much sense, delete and restart!

Because of you quick and continued responses to my posts I'm going to mark your last message as the solution.  You do deserve it!

Thanks,
Brian
