I have a problem that seems so simple to fix but I cannot figure out why this is not working. I have done this in other apps with no problem.

I have an ASPX page that displays data at the top for info only and a Gridview to show related records that can be edited. I use ASP:LABELs to display the data fields at the top of the page. The Code Behind handles retrieving the data during Page Load. What I am getting is the field legend with no data. I have tried everything I know and have tried everything I can Google. The code below shows that I have removed all the data fields and reduced it to a variable (m) that gets set in the Code Behind to "StuffToShow". The resulting page should show

"Case Number: StuffToShow" but only shows "Case Number: "

I cannot figure out why it is doing this. You can see in the areas commented out that I tried other things with no luck. The attached code is not complete and includes only what I thought is relevant to keep it short.

Any ideas or suggestions will be much appreciated. There has got to be a simple reason for this not working that I just cannot see.

Thank you!!!

I'm not a aspx guy but the line asp:Label ID="m" runat="server"

seems to be the only reference to "m" that I see. So I would think that the label ID of "m" would be what was showing the text "StuffToShow" ,also there is no "text =" there. Would adding a "Text = m.text" do any good ?
JTRizos 17-May-12 12:21pm    
Thanx ledtech3, when I use Text=m.text, the result is "Case Number: m.text". Text= works fine in the ASPX code. It's the code behid that seems to be blocked.

Thanx for the suggestion. Much appreciated.

Does the text disappear after a post back? I don't think the label control maintains view state, so setting the text property of a label control wrapped in a IsPostBack check won't work. I could be wrong, but something to consider....
JTRizos 17-May-12 12:22pm    
Thanx Steve Echols, I haven't used a post back on the display screens and haven't needed it in other similar pages. I do use post back in an update program. Having said that, I did try post back in this code and it made no difference.

I appreciate the suggestion, however.

Hi,

There must be something wrong, but as I've given this code a real execution on my IDE (Visual Studio 2010), it works absolutely fine. It shows-"Case Number: StuffToShow". I also checked manipulating the commented part of the code and all those works fine as expected.

I suggest you to check if there is any other manipulation before the page loads or if any variable is there in masterfile with same id.

Thanks
Sunny K

Thanx Sunny,

I guess I feel a little bit better that it works for you. I'll take your suggestion and see what I find. Seems like such a simple thing to do.

Your suggestion is much appreciated!!!
Another Idea might be, if it is not finding the code file. verify the spelling and that it can find it.
I don't understand why it works, but it just worked for me using VB.Net

I used a stock VS2008 build for a webapplication.
Dropped Into the the deault aspx:
XML
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Case Number:" ></asp:Label>
 <asp:Label ID="m" runat="server" ></asp:Label><br /><br />


and dropped in below to the default aspx vb file:

VB
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    m.Text = "StuffToShow"
End Sub


and the result was
Case Number:StuffToShow

First off, I want to thank all who responded. I was glad to hear that my code was working. After reading the responses I reevaluated what I had done. I always work with the code and have never used the designer. So, I pulled up the designer in VS 2005. I could see the "m" variable in the design view and opened it's properties. I looked in Events and found that DataBinding and Load were blank. I selected Page_Load for both and it worked.

Not sure yet why but this gives me a whole new place to look and learn.

Thanx again. This forum always comes through and provides helpful hints for exploring.
