The type or namespace name 'WebControls' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
- by user1467175
I encountered this error:
The type or namespace name 'WebControls' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Source Error:
Line 28: Login Login1 = (WebControls.Login)LoginView1.FindControl("Login1"); // here the error code
Line 29: TextBox UserName = (TextBox)Login1.FindControl("UserName");
Line 30: TextBox FailureText = (TextBox)Login1.FindControl("FailureText");
I did some research and the solution was to add this into the source code:
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Login
but I have no idea where this code can be add into.
At first I tried putting it as a namespace, but it was wrong.
Anyone can tell me where should I place this code at??
EDIT
protected void Login1_LoginError(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//Login Login1 = (WebControls.Login).LoginView1.FindControl("Login1");
Login Login1 = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Login)LoginView1.FindControl("Login1");
TextBox UserName = (TextBox)Login1.FindControl("UserName");
TextBox FailureText = (TextBox)Login1.FindControl("FailureText");
//There was a problem logging in the user
//See if this user exists in the database
MembershipUser userInfo = Membership.GetUser(UserName.Text);
if (userInfo == null)
{
//The user entered an invalid username...
FailureText.Text = "There is no user in the database with the username " + UserName.Text;
}
else
{
//See if the user is locked out or not approved
if (!userInfo.IsApproved)
{
FailureText.Text = "When you created your account you were sent an email with steps to verify your account. You must follow these steps before you can log into the site.";
}
else if (userInfo.IsLockedOut)
{
FailureText.Text = "Your account has been locked out because of a maximum number of incorrect login attempts. You will NOT be able to login until you contact a site administrator and have your account unlocked.";
}
else
{
//The password was incorrect (don't show anything, the Login control already describes the problem)
FailureText.Text = string.Empty;
}
}
}
