.NET (Core and Framework)

Quote:

In a code behind page under the Page_Load sub, I am trying to set some value to a Label:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
myLabel.Text = "Some text"
End Sub

I keep getting 'myLabel' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.

But I do have the following :

<asp:label id="myLabel" runat="server" text="text" visible="true">

This control (along with other controls) is inside the following tag:
<asp:formview id="FormView1" runat="server" datasourceid="sqlDS_ProjectForm" defaultmode="Edit" width="900px">

.
.

I have tried something similar in a separate simple project, where I can display the required text in the label, as a result of the Page_Load

Partial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Hide Copy Code
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal _
e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Label1.Text = "some text";
End Sub

End Class
