Can't access variable in code behind page
HI,
I have a project I'm working on, and I want to simply change a txtlabel on a page (which will be shown in a contentplaceholder). But for some magical reason, I can't access it.
Why do they make it so difficult?!
Here is the code
default.aspx
Default.aspx.vb
I get 2 errors in the page behind:
1-
2-
When I check other examples, you don't have to declare any labels again in the code behind...What am I doing wrong?

I tested your code and it works fine. What I did is created a Web Application Project, added a master page (Site1.Master), added a web content form (WebForm1.aspx) and then copied your code. It works.
Try doing a Rebuild of your project. It might just need a Rebuild especially if you directly typed-in the code in the source and code behind.

In visual Studio, click "Design" tab at the bottom, do you see your label and button? If yes, then run it again to see if you still have problem.
Well the thing is, I can access the buttons and labels in the same page (default.aspx) but not in the page behind (default.aspx.vb).
Does that help?
Does that help?
Can you check your Default.aspx.designer.vb if the label and button are declared in there? You should have something like this.

K so apparently it is recognized
but the button still doesn't work for example
The label is still with his default values.
btw how do you auto generate that?
and how come other examples I see don't need the protect withevents declaration?

My implementation has the WithEvents declared in the aspx.designer.vb file.
The .aspx.vb and .aspx.designer.vb files are considered as one. Both are partial classes. If you look at the class declaration, it has the word "Partial" in it (Public Partial Class _Default)
If you compile this, the resulting compilation will be as one class. If you don't have these declarations, then you will get those errors in your question.

OK. Maybe you are not seeing your designer files, in your Solution Explorer, click on the Show All Files icon to display all files related to your aspx page.
I do see my designs,
I see the button and label.
I can click on my button and change all properties according.

Try to find the control by this way
(System.Web.UI.WebControls
it's not the "Optimal" way but if u r desperate, use it now and fix later with more time.

Trata de buscar al control de esta manera:

No es la forma "Optima" de hacerlo pero si tienes la urgencia usalo asi ahora y despues lo corriges.

Can you do the following?
1. Right-Click on the Project Name and select "Clean"
2. Right-Click on the Project Name again and select "Rebuild"
3. test it out.
If that doesn't work, try this,
1. Create a new "Web Content Form"
2. Add a Label and Button "from the Toolbox" (drag the controls to the toolbox)
3. In Design Mode, double click your button and put label1.Text = "hi" in there.
4. Make this new "Web Content Form" as you Start Page, by right clicking on the aspx and selecting "Set as Start Page"
4. Build or Rebuild
5. Test it out.
1. Right-Click on the Project Name and select "Clean"
2. Right-Click on the Project Name again and select "Rebuild"

@gabosoft:
The script give problems, also I suppose I need to set it in the event handler.
I'm also using vb.net
@Alfred1:
I can't seem to find the clean button.
Also the second part works, but as I said, in the same file (aspx) the code works, but the moment as I use it in the aspx.vb (page behind) it doesnt

When you click on the Project Name and then right-click, you should see a popup menu and one of the menu options is "Clean".
Regarding the second part, if you look at no. 3, if that works then everything should work. Double clicking on the button control in design mode would create the structure for the default button event in code behind which is button click event. And then you can then type in Label1.Text = "hi" inside of the event in code behind.
Also, check your namespaces for all pages including Master. As I can see in there, it should be WebApplication1. Check your project namespace as well in project properties under the Application tab and check the root namespace listed in there if it is really WebApplication1.

Well, as I mentioned in my first comment, I tested your code and it works fine in my own project.
It is possible that somehow, the project generation went awry and continued to cause that problem. There might be some files missing or corrupted when you created your project originally and that is why I kept asking if you have certain items relevant to a project that is missing. You might have encountered a bug in your IDE before. This problem happens from time to time based on my experience.
