[Solved] Compiler Error Message: CS0136

[Varghese]

I have the following panel bar. When I run this I get the following error at the line where it has subItem.Add().Text("CC").Content(

Compiler Error Message: CS0136: A local variable named 'item' cannot be declared in this scope because it would give a different meaning to 'item', which is already used in a 'parent or current' scope to denote something else

Here is the code I have:

@(Html.Telerik().PanelBar().Name("PanelBar").HtmlAttributes(new { style = "border-radius: 5px;"}).Items(item =>
    {
        item.Add().Text("A").Items(subItem =>
            {
                subItem.Add().Text("AA");
            });

        item.Add().Text("B").Items(subItem =>
            {
                subItem.Add().Text("BB");
            });

        item.Add().Text("C").Items(subItem =>
            {
                subItem.Add().Text("CC").Content(
                        @<text>
                            graph chart data
                        </text>).Action("...", ".");
                subItem.Add().Text("CCC").Action("...", "...");
            });
    }
    ))

Hi Varghese,

The local variable which is specified in the error is the Razor's item. It is added to the scope when you open the text tag. To avoid the error, you should rename the Lambda expression item parameter.
