Name 'btnPrev' is not declared. How do I do that?

[darrel]

I'm working on getting paging working for a repeater control.

I'm following the tutorial at:
http://www.sitepoint.com/print/asp-nets-pageddatasource

I'm getting snagged on the following bit of code:

Line 121: btnPrev.Visible = (NOT pagedData.IsFirstPage)
Line 122: btnNext.Visible = (NOT pagedData.IsLastPage)

Which gives me the 'btnPrev' is not declared.

However, I do have it in my repeater control, located on the same page:

<FooterTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton id="btnPrev" text="&lt;" OnClick="Prev_Click"
runat="server" />
<asp:LinkButton id="btnNext" text="&lt;" OnClick="Next_Click"
runat="server" />
</FooterTemplate>

What am I missing?

Best guess: I would Ensure you have a declaration of the button in your
codeBehind (or <% %> blocks).

protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button btnPrev;

When you place the buttons into the page in the background like this, the
IDE does not link them to the page, as the Repeater will only run if there
is data.

NOTE: You must ensure there is always data in the Repeater, or this will
cause a problem.

I would consider extending the Repeater control, if this is going to be a
common functionality.

Ah...yes...I think the tutorial implies that I'm using VS.net and as I'm
doing this by hand, I miss the automated declarations. Thanks!
