Accessing control properties...
I just thought I'd mess around with C# and see what the hell it has to offer and - I feel like a complete newbie!
I don't know whether it is my VS2005 playing around, but I cannot seem to assign any values to control properties.
For example, I get the error on this line:
myLiteral.Text = str.ToString; //str is a stringbuilder....
The error i get is:
Error 1 An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property '_Default.myLiteral' c:\inetpub\wwwroot\c_strea
What is going on!
thanks,
KS

At first glance, I'd say you need to call ToString with brackets, as it is a method, not a property.

Yes, that is prob true, but even with brackets I get the same error :(
I cannot seem to reference any controls like this. Works fine when I create a VB.Net project.

When I installed visual studio 2005, I did set the default language option to VB.NET.
Now that I have created a C# project, maybe it has bugged because of some operations occuring during installation??!
Strange!

When I type Literal1. intellisense does nto show any properties e.g., Text, ID etc etc...
It is doing this for any controls i place on the page. If I use the word this. then intellisense shows me the name of the control i placed on the page and also its properties. But when I try to compile I get an error:
Error 1 Keyword 'this' is not valid in a static property, static method, or static field initializer c:\inetpub\wwwroot\c_strea
Damn it.

I think it was because I was referencing the control from a static method as you mentioned.
A bit confusing seen as tho in vb you can reference a control from a sub function etc etc.
thx.
