Issue
Using the ASP.NET VB development model,
users running a page that uses an ASP.NET Page
Load object will encounter the following
error:
Compilation Error
Description: An error occurred during the compilation
of a resource required to service this request. Please
review the following specific error details and modify
your source code appropriately.
Compiler Error Message: BC30037: Character is not valid. |
Reason
The code generated by Dreamweaver MX
contains a semicolon and is missing a line break,
both of which makes it invalid. The following code
is produced (the problem semicolon is highlighted
in red): <script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(Src As Object, E As EventArgs)
If Not IsPostBack Then DataBind();
End If
End Sub
</script> Note:
This is not an issue for developers working
with an ASP.NET C # server model.
Solution
Two solutions are provided. The first will
assist you in fixing existing instances of code.
The second will instruct you in
changing the source file that generates
the code so that you can avoid
getting the invalid code. All
users should follow the second
set of instructions, but users
who wish to fix existing instances
of code should also follow the
first set of instructions.
Solution
1: Change existing instances of
code
| 1 |
Open any pages that use this code
already. |
| 2 |
Locate the script code in Code view (View
> Code). |
| |
Note: Users may wish to search for instances
of Page_Load by choosing Edit > Find and
Replace, then searching for Source Code of
Page_Load. Click Find Next. |
| 3 |
Within the code, remove the semicolon and
input a line break after the "Then" statement.
The completed code looks like the
following: |
| |
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(Src As Object, E As EventArgs)
If Not IsPostBack Then
DataBind()
End If
End Sub
</script> |
Solution
2: Change the source file that generates the
malformed code
| 1 |
Locate the Page_Load.htm file. This file
is located in the Configuration folder of the
location of the Dreamweaver MX
installation. |
| |
 |
Default Windows location
c:\program files\macromedia\dreamweaver
mx\configuration\objects\
ASP.NET\ |
|
Default Macintosh
location
Mac HD: Applications:
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX: Configuration:
Objects:
ASP.NET: | |
| |
Note: As with any change to application files,
users should make a backup copy of the file
prior to editing the file. |
| 2 |
With Dreamweaver MX closed, open
Page_Load.htm file in a text editor and look for
the following lines of code (the code in red is
the code that must be changed): |
| |
else if (docType == 'ASP.NET_VB')
{
before = '<' + 'script runat="server">\nSub
Page_Load(Src As Object, E As EventArgs)\nIf Not
IsPostBack Then DataBind();\nEnd If';
after = '\nEnd Sub\n</' + 'script>';
} |
| 3 |
Change the code so that it looks like the
following code. The code in red is what must be
changed: |
| |
else if (docType == 'ASP.NET_VB')
{
before = '<' + 'script runat="server">\nSub
Page_Load(Src As Object, E As EventArgs)\nIf Not
IsPostBack Then\nDataBind()\nEnd If';
after = '\nEnd Sub\n</' + 'script>';
} |
| 4 |
Save the Page_Load.htm file and restart
Dreamweaver MX. |
