asked on

does not exist in the current context

Hi experts

I have declared a Div
<div id="NEOPlogout" visible="false" runat="server">

on my Site.master page and on Site.master.cs I have a condition to check that if
if (Session["UserName"] == null)
{
NEOPlogout.Visible = false;
menu.Visible = false;

I receive an error when I compile that NEOPlogout
does not exist in the current context
Any suggestion?

THanks

Is the DIV declared in the master page itself? What event in the master page are you attempting to access the DIV from?

Yes div is on my site.master page.

I just created a Div to make it visible or invisible depending on the login credentials. SO on my Site.master.cs I check if they are logged in make the div visible and else invisible.

The div has a closing tag so no problems on that.

I did copied the div from another page, but it is just a simple div tag.
<div id="NEOPlogout" visible="false" runat="server">
              <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="Extra" align="right" class="PPTHeader">
              <tr>
                   <td valign="top" align="left" class="PPTHeaderLabel"><b>Welcome</b>  <asp:Label ID="txtFirstName" Font-Bold="true" runat="server" CssClass="PPTHeaderLabel" />! </td>  

                   <td valign="top" align="right"> <asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" NavigateUrl="~/logout.aspx" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="Black" Text="  Log Out" CssClass="locator_icon" runat="server"> </asp:HyperLink> </td>
                   </tr>
              </table>
              </div>

and on my master.cs page i have

on page load.
if (Session["UserName"] == null)
{
NEOPlogout.Visible = false;
menu.Visible = false;
}
else
{
NEOPlogout.Visible = true;
menu.Visible = true;
txtFirstName.Text = Session["sFirstName"].ToString();
}

Error
The name 'NEOPlogout' does not exist in the current context
The name 'txtFirstName' does not exist in the current context

I did tried talking it out, executing, it gave me no erros, and then I placed again, the error came back.

I do have HTML tag on my site.master page
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">

and the div is currently insite the Html tag.

Thanks
