'Image' does not contain a definition for 'ImageUrl'

[Jeff]

hi

asp.net 2.0

I get this compile error:
'Image' does not contain a definition for 'ImageUrl'

Image image = (Image)e.Item.F indControl("img ");
image.ImageUrl = "~/image.png";

the compile error is on the second line above. This is strange. This used to
compile without problem. But it started after I had created a separate
folder for storing masterpages (I moved the masterpages and updated link to
them in each .aspx). Also created a new masterpage, by copying the markup of
another masterpage. Then the compile errror arrived.

any suggestions?

Re: 'Image' does not contain a definition for 'ImageUrl'

Probably because it is not sure which image you mean? Unless you specify the
namespace, the compiler can pull the wrong image class.

Instead try using

System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Imag e image =
(System.Web.UI. WebControls.Ima ge)e.Item.FindC ontrol("img");

This ensures you're getting the correct image object.

Hope this helps,
Mark Fitzpatrick

Firstly, are you absolutely that the first line has worked?

What does image.GetType() return?

If you set a breakpoint on the second line and then inspect the image
variable in the locals window or the immediate window, what properties does
IntelliSense reveal...?

Yes, I've just commented out this line: image.ImageUrl = "~/image.png"; and
now it compiles
(but no image is displayed)

What does image.GetType() return?
"System.Web.UI. WebControls.Ima ge"

what properties does IntelliSense reveal
it reveals ImageUrl

I don't think the problem is here, but somewhere else maybe. I've executed
this code many times this evening without getting that compile error. The
problem started after I've reorganized the masterpages.. well, I don't
know.. I'm confused here.

part of markup of default.aspx: MasterPageFile= "~/Masters/Content.master"
and before I moved the masterpage it was: MasterPageFile= "Content.master "
I don't see how that can make the problem

any ideas?
