class error

So I am trying to identify a class in my .asmx file that is from my .cs file and it keeps erroring, they are both in the root file, they both have the right spelling and the class is global, I don’t know why it is not picking it up

Sorry for the bad screenshots, work pc

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you want to share code, please copy and paste the code into a markdown code block in your discord post, or paste the code into https://paste.mod.gg/ and share a link to it in your discord post.

If want to share a screenshot, please do not take a photo of your computer screen with your phone or camera. Instead see https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/ for how to take a screen capture on your device. You may want to crop the image before pasting it into your discord message.

what's this for? this looks like pretty outdated code

do u not have discord on your pc? that is so hard to read

leowest•3/27/24, 6:44 PM

besides we cannot copy and paste image as code

leowest•3/27/24, 6:44 PM

so if we wanted to point something to u we would have to rewrite it.

LucasOP•3/27/24, 6:45 PM

Sorry, it’s my work pc, when I’m back tmz I will copy n send the code

JJimmacle what's this for? this looks like pretty outdated code

LucasOP•3/27/24, 6:46 PM

Just a todo list, just sends information to a text file, trying to give an example of developing for this work experience pupil we have joining us soon.

Angius•3/27/24, 6:51 PM

Oof, my sincerest condolences for them

Jimmacle•3/27/24, 6:51 PM

yeah rip

Jimmacle•3/27/24, 6:52 PM

is there a reason you're training them on this specific technology?

Jimmacle•3/27/24, 6:53 PM

i had to google what it is just to find out it's probably not a choice for new development

Angius•3/27/24, 6:56 PM

Probably some legacy project started in 1999

LucasOP•3/27/24, 6:57 PM

Ajax requests, it’s what we have been told as one of the topics from the school, we gave them that with also creating a website

AAngius Probably some legacy project started in 1999

LucasOP•3/27/24, 6:58 PM

Ajax isn’t really used that commonly today, but it is still useful for sending and receiving data from a server.

Jimmacle•3/27/24, 6:59 PM

i wish schools would update their courses to not use ancient tech

JJimmacle i wish schools would update their courses to not use ancient tech

LucasOP•3/27/24, 6:59 PM

I agree, the school system is outdated.

Angius•3/27/24, 6:59 PM

And to use proper naming, I just noticed the class is called lowercase lol

Angius•3/27/24, 6:59 PM

Ajax is marginally useful, sure.

Angius•3/27/24, 7:00 PM

Webforms, or whatever it is, not so much

AAngius And to use proper naming, I just noticed the class is called lowercase `backend`...

LucasOP•3/27/24, 7:01 PM

Just for the pupil to grasp the idea that what he is doing at that time is backend development, creating an asmx file that sends and revives data from a txt file

Angius•3/27/24, 7:01 PM

If I were teaching outdated technologies, I'd at least teach them following the spec, like using proper naming

Angius•3/27/24, 7:01 PM

But sure

LucasOP•3/27/24, 7:02 PM

I know it’s not secure, it’s open to injection, but it’s just for them to grasp the idea.

Angius•3/27/24, 7:02 PM

And can you not use technology newer than the last two decades to demonstrate the idea?

LucasOP•3/27/24, 7:02 PM

What do you mean by that? The computer orrr the actual software?

Angius•3/27/24, 7:03 PM

I mean this

Angius•3/27/24, 7:03 PM

It got EOL'd in 2010

LucasOP•3/27/24, 7:05 PM

Understandable, i will be real with you, we don’t do web development in our team and we don’t use .net framework, it’s just what the school has given us to do, i didn’t even realise that it was outdated, thank you for letting me know.

Angius•3/27/24, 7:05 PM

If I wanted to just demonstrate some idea with a web app, be it API or anything else, I'd use the newest version of .NET (.NET 8 currently) and a modern web framework (ASP.NET Core 8 currently)

Angius•3/27/24, 7:06 PM

If you're dead-set on using Webforms, I won't be of much — if any — help here

Angius•3/27/24, 7:06 PM

I don't think anybody will be, tbh

LucasOP•3/27/24, 7:07 PM

If you were me, what would you do that includes Ajax?

Angius•3/27/24, 7:07 PM

AJAX, as in sending data between a backend API and whatever client, right?

LucasOP•3/27/24, 7:07 PM

Yes.

Angius•3/27/24, 7:07 PM

Or specifically the jQuery method?

LucasOP•3/27/24, 7:08 PM

Sending data between a backend

leowest•3/27/24, 7:08 PM

welcome to cave teachers in university it is what it is my condolences that u have to write code with such an ancient framework

Angius•3/27/24, 7:08 PM

ASP.NET Core 8 Minimal API project for the backend
Whatever for the frontend, could even be a .NET 8 console app

LucasOP•3/27/24, 7:10 PM

Hmm ok, so what task would you set them, at the moment we have just a todo list that saves data to a txt file, also has a delete function. do you think that is applicable?

Angius•3/27/24, 7:10 PM

Sure

LLucas Hmm ok, so what task would you set them, at the moment we have just a todo list ...

leowest•3/27/24, 7:12 PM

well it depends if your teacher says it needs to be done in .net framework 4 then u would be limited to winform, wpf, console and webforms

Angius•3/27/24, 7:55 PM

I had a spare moment, so here, here's how I'd do it with modern technology: https://github.com/Atulin/AjaxText

Angius•3/27/24, 7:55 PM

It's quick and dirty, I would normally separate the handlers into their own files, used for better output on the client, and so on

Angius•3/27/24, 7:55 PM

But it works

Jimmacle•3/27/24, 8:00 PM

is it just me or is that missing code

Jimmacle•3/27/24, 8:00 PM

the minimal api looks empty and so do the types in the shared project

Angius•3/27/24, 8:03 PM

Oh?
