Question

I have an ASP.NET application with a <codeSubDirectories> section in web.config. My main project is in VB.NET but I have a CSCode subdirectory under App_Code written in C#. Now for every new sub application I create I have to create a CSCode folder under App_Code. Microsoft’s documentation says there is a <clear /> element but I get an error when I add it to the sub application’s web.config file. What’s going on?

Answer 1

Found it. Apparently Microsoft never got around the actually coding the <clear /> element for <codeSubDirectories>. The online MSDN Documentation mentions this in the Community Content section.

As a workaround I’m going to move the CSCode into a separate DLL.
