nebie problem with c# asp.net syntax....

[DC]

Why in the hell am i getting this error?

Compiler Error Message: CS1519: Invalid token 'using' in class,
struct, or interface member declaration

Source Error:

Line 5: <script runat="server">
Line 6:
Line 7: using System;
Line 8: using System.Collections;
Line 9: using System.IO;

The code isnt really importanat but try as I might the "using" keyword
is causing an error, is this common am I being incredbly stupid? Does
anyone have a good example of a very basic c# asp.net pagI can play with?

Never had this much hassle writing scripts in vbscript

Thanks in advance.

The problem is that code in the <script runat=server> goes in the class definition,
so:

<script runat=server>
void foo() {}
</script>

becomes

class YourPage : Page {
void foo() {}
....
}

So when you put the using starements in there it becomes:
class YourPage : Page {
using System;
void foo() {}
....
}

Which is illegal. You need the <%@ Import %> directive instead at the top
of the page:
<%@ Import Namespace="System"%>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Collections"%>
etc...

Cheers thats really helpful. Seems liek none of the examples ou there
are really designed to explain how to do things for a total newbie. They
all seem to be about principles rather than practicality.

Anyway thanks again,
