Newbie question: Trouble with Force.com for ASP.NET Developers

I am trying to follow the tutorial Force.com for ASP.NET Developers posten on the WIki at: http://wiki.apexdevnet.com/index.php/Force.com_for_ASP.NET_Developers. I get stuck in trying to create the first VisualForce page, and I suspect there's a preceding step missing that I have not done.

 

When I enter the code, I am supposed to get challenged 3 times to createan Apex class and 2 Apex methods. I never get this message: Create Apex method 'leadLookupController1.getSearchString' -- instead I get a message Error: Unknown property 'searchString'.

 

 <apex:page controller="leadLookupController">
	<apex:form>
		<apex:pageBlock title="Lead Search">
		<apex:outputLabel value="Email" />:
		<apex:inputText value="{!searchString}" />
		<apex:facet name="footer">
			<apex:outputPanel>
				<apex:commandButton action="{!step2}" value="Search" />
			</apex:outputPanel>
		</apex:facet>
		</apex:pageBlock>
	</apex:form>
 </apex:page>

 

Thanks in advance for your assistence.

Chris - I completed the Visualforce part of that tutorial successfully. I ran into the same problem, where I was not prompted to add the method for getSearchString. I just went to the Apex class for leadLookupController and added the method:

 

public String getSearchString() { return emailString ; }  

 

Once I did that I stopped getting the error.

Well does your leadLookupController have a getSearchString function?  Regardless of whether you're challenged about it, that's what the error message is trying to tell you.

Thanks gringoese for the help. Not only did that get me unstuck, on that step, but I was also then able to complete the entire tutorial.
