Value passing

[miwaypro]

hi all,

 

This is my code, which give me an error of "name" is not declared

 

'code for WebForm1.aspx.vb
Sub submit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
       If name.value <> "" Then
           p1.InnerHtml = "Welcome " & name.value & "!"
       End If
   End Sub

 

Code for WebForm1.aspx

 

 
<form runat="server">
Enter your name: <input id="name" type="text" size="30" runat="server" />
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" OnServerClick="submit" runat="server" />
<p id="p1" runat="server" />
</form>

The name is my input id, how to pass the value?

In order to reference a control, the code-behind must know about the control. In your case, the code-behind has no idea the control exists, probably because the control is not declared in your code-behind file.

 

If you're using VS 2003, you can switch to design view, and then switch back to HTML view. That should add the control.

 

Or, you could declare the control yourself.
