  Declaration Expected on Label.Text

  Apr 18, 2006 02:24 PM|LINK

  I'm using an ArrayList to pass the values from the form to another page. This page has a bunch of Label boxes to display the information. When I set the value I get a "declaration expected" for the label1.text. Why am I getting this and how do I fix it?

  thanks

      Dim myNewArrayList As ArrayList = Session("ddlArrayList")

  It looks like you're trying to grab your array from session and assign the values to your labels directly after your class declaration. You have to do this inside a method or event handler in your class. I would recommend doing it in Page_Load or in a seperate method in your class that you then call from Page_Load.

  I don't do much VB, but shouldn't
       Dim myArrayList As ArrayList
  be
       Dim myArrayList As New ArrayList()

  and:
   myArrayList(0) = DOTAgency.SelectedItem.Text
   ' etc ...
  should be:
   myArrayList.Add(DOTAgency.SelectedItem.Text)
  

  NC...
