Let’s say I have a class (MyClass.cs) in App_Code (using a ASP.NET web site, not project). There’s no namespace assigned to the class.
How can I get that class to be valid in the web site .aspx pages? WHAT do I need to put in the web.config file and WHERE do I need to put it?
Do I <add assembly tag or do I <add type ??
Since the assembly tag requires version, culture, and public key, I’m not sure what those values are at compile time.
Do I just add a type tag? Where do I put it in the web.config?
EDIT: Ok, I found part of my answer. I was getting the error because ‘http://localhost/MyFolder‘ was not set as an ‘application’ in IIS. However, I have a BUNCH of folders, ‘http://localhost/MyFolder2, http://localhost/MyFolder3, etc…
New question: Is there any way to NOT have MyFolder be an application, and still make it run correctly? I’ve heard of a ‘codesubdirectories’ tag, is that useful and where would I put it? Thanks.
Going by your edit, have you tried moving the App_Code folder to the root of the site?
That may address your issue.
You could also take a look at Scott Guthrie’s Tip/Trick:
Although this does use the Web Application projects, rather than web sites.
Looking at the CodeSubDirectories config element – you probably could use this – it would need to be defined in the root web.config I guess.
Also, note that the <assembly> references only need to contain version, culture and public key details if the assemblies are strongly named (and so have those values).
