Revised: RadContextMenu not showing all options

[R2]

Hello,

On page 52 (pg 40 in print PDF) "Context Menus", I'm doing the lesson on pages 53 - 55, however the context menu does not expand to show all the various options as shown on page 55. 

I copied and pasted the code in my project, but I kept getting a compilation error targeting "Imports Telerik.Web.UI (in red):
"Compiler Error Message: ASPNET: Make sure that the class defined in this code file matches the 'inherits' attribute, and that it extends the correct base class (e.g. Page or UserControl)."  

Once I deleted the "Namespace Multipage" keyword structure.  I don't understand why I was getting a compilation error just by using the namespace. ??? 

Here is the code per the lesson (as well as in my project):

 

Protected Sub RadContextMenu1_ItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
Telerik.Web.UI.RadMenuEventArgs)
' look only at child items
If e.Item.Level = 1 Then
' find child items under "Colors" parent item
If (TryCast(e.Item.Parent, RadMenuItem)).Text.Equals("Colors") Then
' set the color picker preset to the selected preset
RadColorPicker1.Preset = DirectCast([Enum].Parse(GetType(ColorPreset), e.Item.Text),
ColorPreset)
End If
End If
End Sub
End Class

So my two questions would be:
1. Why is deleting the "Namespace" keyword eliminating the compilation error?  I thought creating and using Namespaces is a way to
"package" classes.  Thus, making them more unique.

2.  Why isn't (correction) the  RadContextMenu control working correctly in my application for the RadColorPicker control?  (All I see when I right-click is the word "Color".  No subitems as shown on page 43.

Thanks,
R2

Hello,

Can anyone from Telerik offer an answer here, or at least an acknowledgement that my question/s were reviewed?  If I am missing something here in the lesson, please point that out as I'm trying to learn the tool.  The RadContextMenu should work as outlined in the walkthrough, but it does not.

Hello there,

Straight to your questions:

   1. When you're using a namespace in your code-behind like this:

namespace MyStuff
{
    public class MyClass : Page
    {
    }
}

 
then in the aspx file you should inherit also the namespace:

<%@ Language="C#" Inherits="MyStuff.MyClass" %>

I suppose that this causes the first error in your project.

   2. I've prepared a sample project based on the tutorial and it works without a problem. Please download the attached file and give it a try.

Best wishes,
