Board index » Web Programming » Why do I have to qualify 'DataRowView' with System.Data?

Web Programming238
I am getting the error below when I try to use DataRowView in my aspx page.

I am using the System.Data in my code behind. I even tried importing

system.Data in the aspx. I have to qualify it with System.Data to get it

going. Why is that?



Error Message:

The type or namespace name 'DataRowView' could not be found (are you

missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

You will have to post come code.



Are you using another namespace that has a DataRowView?

Yes, you have to do it that way. There is no using for an aspx page. When

a page is compiled all the "using" goes away and is replaced with the full

name of all the objects.



The using is just to help with typing and maintaining more readable code.



There is no other way around it. (That I can think of)



HTH,

You should be able to use the



<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>



directive to declare that the page is 'using' (in C# parlance) the

System.Data namespace.

You DON"t have to do it that way.



import the system.Data namespace in your code

or set it as a project-level import in project properties.
