I am having trouble referring to a lable in C#. The lable is in a grid with the name "vEmployeeFullNameStatus". I want to change the text color on a condition.
I followed the directions in the manual for "Changing Text Color". Here is the error that I get back.
Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'vEmployeeFullNameStatus' does not exist in the current context.
My code is as follows:
/Label Status Event BeforeShow. Action Custom Code @26-2A29BDB7
// -------------------------
if (vEmployeeFullNameStatus.Text == "MAIL RESTRICTION") {
vEmployeeFullNameStatus.Text = "<font color=RED>"+vEmployeeFullNameStatus.Text+"</font>";
} else if (vEmployeeFullNameStatus.Text == "DOCUMENT RESTRICTION") {
vEmployeeFullNameStatus.Text = "<font color=GREEN>"+vEmployeeFullNameStatus.Text+"</font>";
}
// -------------------------
//End Label Status Event BeforeShow. Action Custom Code
I quess that I am not referring to the control properly. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

The manual explains that there is "a Grid called Tasks which has a Label field called Priority" and the syntax is "TasksPriority.Text".
Thus your syntax will also need to include the grid name.

Peter:
Thanks for the reply. The grids name is vEmployeeFullName and the lable in the grid is Status. So I think that I have it right.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

You can check the name of the Label a few lines above. The line should look like following
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal <FormName><ControlName> = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal)(e.Item.FindControl("<FormName><ControlName>"));
But name is indeed must be <FormName><ControlName>

Stan and Peter Thank you.
The problem was that I had my database field set to nvar(25) so on my line if (vEmployeeFullNameStatus.Text == "MAIL RESTRICTION") { I needed to add trailing spaces to bring it up to 25 characters and it works.
For future reference do you know if there is something like a trim feature like:
if (TRIM)vEmployeeFullNameStatus.Text) == "MAIL RESTRICTION") {
I'm coming from an access vba backgrown, so I guess I will look it up in my C# book, but thought I would post for the benefit of the forum.

Figured it out, changed type in SQL from NVAR to NVARCHAR.
