[Solved] The name "owner" does not exist in the current context error

[Maciej Siwek]

Hello again,

I use advanced form and trying to place my own user control in it. Unfortunatelly I'm getting an error 
"The name "owner" does not exist in the current context error"
both in case im using:
- '<%# Container.Appointment.Owner.Localization.AdvancedClose %>'
or
- '<%# Owner.Localization.AdvancedClose%>'

I also tried '=' instead of '#' but it didn't work. As well I already have converted .ascx to web application.

Here's my sample:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebUserControl1.ascx.cs" Inherits="Trash.WebUserControl1" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

<div class="rsAdvancedEdit" style="position: relative">
    <%-- Title bar.--%>
    <div class="rsAdvTitle">
        <%-- The rsAdvInnerTitle element is used as a drag handle when the form is modal. --%>
        <h1 class="rsAdvInnerTitle">
            Edit Appointment</h1>
        <asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="AdvancedEditCloseButton" CssClass="rsAdvEditClose"
            CommandName="Cancel" CausesValidation="false" ToolTip='<%# Container.Appointment.Owner.Localization.AdvancedClose %>'>
            <%# Owner.Localization.AdvancedClose%>
        </asp:LinkButton>
    </div>
    <div class="rsAdvContentWrapper">
        <asp:Button ID="btn1" runat="server" Text="Btn" />
        <asp:Panel runat="server" ID="ButtonsPanel" CssClass="rsAdvancedSubmitArea">
            <div class="rsAdvButtonWrapper">
                <asp:LinkButton CommandName="Update" runat="server" ID="UpdateButton" CssClass="rsAdvEditSave">
                    <span><%# Container.Appointment.Owner.Localization.Save%></span>
                </asp:LinkButton>
                <asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="CancelButton" CssClass="rsAdvEditCancel" CommandName="Cancel"
                    CausesValidation="false">
                    <span><%# Container.Appointment.Owner.Localization.Cancel%></span>
                </asp:LinkButton>
            </div>
        </asp:Panel>
    </div>
</div>

Lookin forward quick reply.

Best regards,

Hello Maciej,

To be able to use Owner in such a way, you need to expose it as a protected property in code-behind of your user control.

protected RadScheduler Owner
  {
      get
      {
          return Appointment.Owner;
      }
  }

You can download a sample project from here and review the code of the AdvancedForm user control.
