  Cannot add CustomValidator to login.aspx

  Dec 29, 2012 08:58 PM|LINK

  I am getting the error 'CS1061: 'ASP.account_login_aspx' does not contain a definition for 'ServerValidation' and no extension method 'ServerValidation' accepting a first...'

  I added a CustomValidation control on the login.aspx sample supplied with VC2010. My exact code is:

  <asp:CustomValidator id="UserAlreadyLoggedIn" runat="server" ControlToValidate="UserName" CssClass="failureNotification" Display="Static"
  ErrorMessage="That user ID is already connected" OnServerValidate="ServerValidation" ValidationGroup="LoginUserValidationGroup"></asp:CustomValidator>

  In the code behind I have:

  void ServerValidation(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs arguments)
  {
  
  ...
  }
  

  
  so the function is defined. I don't understand why it is not found.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thanks.

  achalk: Your head is much smaller than previously believed. Declaring a function without a visibility modifier means that it defaults to 'private':

  void ...

  change it to:

  protected void...
