Hello. I've been having a lot of trouble with a user control that I've been trying to create. I'm trying to make a dynamic hierarchical menu that displays a submenu whenever a main category item is clicked. I've gone through many incarnations of this, with DataLists, Repeaters and hidden Panels, and nothing's worked.

Right now, I'm trying to run the method that will display my submenu panel and I'm getting the following error:

Compilation Error
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: CS1518: Expected class, delegate, enum, interface, or struct

I've read some of the forums, and I know that this message is usually produced when the type of method is not specified, however I've made sure that that is not the case in my code. Could someone take a look at it and tell me if there's something else that I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

The error is being produced because of a syntax error - what you have got there is a constructor syntax. The problem that I am having is that there is no such similar type of line in your provided code. Could you identify where this line is coming from?

I'm not really sure what you mean. Are you saying that I'm supposed to be creating a constructor but haven't specified as such in my code? As to which line is generating the error, I believe it's the SubNavSelect() method that I'm trying to call after the Page_Load. I know that a .dll has been stored in the temporary file listed in the error message, but I'm not sure if it can be cleared, or if there's some other error in the code that I've written. I've pasted the entire code for the control in my posting above. Is there a line that I'm supposed to include to make it act as a constructor?

Ok, if this all your code, then there is something else wrong. You might want to check the bin directory to see if there is any "loose" assemblies in there. If not, then try the following command line from your desired framework (will be located in the windows folder under microsoft.net folder):

regiis -i
