[RESOLVED] The name "Exclude" does not exist in current context

[Nightwalker83]

Hi,

Why am I receiving the error: The name "Exclude" does not exist in current context when using the following code?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.Web.Mvc;
 
 
namespace MvcMusicStore.Models
{
    [MetadataType(typeof(AlbumMetaData))]
    public partial class Album
    {
        //Validation rules for Album class
        [Bind(Exclude == "AlbumID")]
        public class AlbumMetaData
        {
            [ScaffoldColumn(false)]
            public object AlbumId {get; set;}
            [DisplayName("Genre")]
            public object GenreId { get; set; }
            [DisplayName("Artist")]
            public object ArtistId { get; set; }
            [Required(ErrorMessage = "An album title is required")]
            [StringLength(160)]
            public object Title { get; set; }
            [DisplayName("Album Art URL")]
            [StringLength(1024)]
            public object AlbumArtURL { get; set; }
            [Required(ErrorMessage = "Price is required")]
            [Range(0.01, 100.00, ErrorMessage = "Price must be between 0.01 and 100.00")]
            public object Price { get; set; }
        }
    }
}

Thanks,

Eh, I haven't tried this in VS2010, but are you sure the syntax is

 [Bind(Exclude == "AlbumID")]

and not

 [Bind(Exclude = "AlbumID")]

?

.

[techgnome]

== is a comparison equals, while = is the assignment operator... but since you're in an attribute markup, I'm not sure C# rules apply....
And this thread would seem to back that up...

Thanks, for pointing out the oversight! Checking my notes again it is "=" and not "==" I am suppose to use.

C# rules do apply, the value "AlbumID" is being assigned to the property "Exclude" on the Bind attribute.
