Getting error “Server Error in '/' Application.” when I run the program

Question

I have received an error message when I run my program. I feel this is a common type of error. Can you explain this error in simple terms.

Compilation Error
Desc         


        

Answer 1

According to the error message, in your front page (c:\Users\Jithma Senarathne\Desktop\fiverr\asp.net\Project\Cinema Website\Cinema Website\Cinema Website\SearchByGenre.aspx), you may have a dropdownlist (named ddlGenre) which is bound the OnSelectedIndexChanged event ddlGenre_SelectedIndexChanged, but there doesn't have the method in the code behind in the SearchByGenre.aspx.cs file. What you should do is:

1. either remove the event binding code in front page SearchByGenre.aspx line 8: AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlGenre_SelectedIndexChanged",

2. or add the event method at code behind in the SearchByGenre.aspx.cs file.
