Compilation error - inline code

I'm using a 3-tier architecture for my application. I'm using inline code to call certain methods found in the business logic. I have a method which returns a particular string message. The following code is returning an error

<div id="logo">
<h1><a href="/" title='<%= systemMessagesBL.ReturnMessage("MSG_MAINPAGE_TOOLTIP", 1) %>'>Application</a></h1>
</div>

The error being: CS0103: The name 'systemMessagesBL' does not exist in the current context. And this although I already made a reference to it using the following embedded code:

<% BusinessLogic.SystemMessagesBL systemMessagesBL = new BusinessLogic.SystemMessagesBL(); %>

What may be the problem?

Solution

  • Try declaring your object in a code-behind file, not inline, and make it protected:

    protected BusinessLogic.SystemMessagesBL systemMessagesBL = 
   new BusinessLogic.SystemMessagesBL();

    then your inline stuff should pick it up.
