Tying the pieces (files) together

[John Spiegel]

Hi all,

I'm working with the .NET framework and Web Matrix and am having trouble
finding how to tie together the files when deriving classes. What I've got
is a TestBase.cs file that defines a class derived from page. I also have a
codebehind file that I'm referencing from an ASP.NET page. For example,
something like:

Test.aspx...
<%@ Page Language="C#" Src="Test.aspx. cs"
Inherits="Test. Welcome.Welcome Page" %>

/* Test.aspx.cs */
namespace Test.Welcome
{
using Test.HelperStuf f
public class WelcomePage : LabeledPage
{
protected void Page_Load(objec t Src, EventArgs e)
{ /* Some code */ }
}
}

/* TestBase.cs */
namespace Test.HelperStuf f
{
using System.WebForms
using System.WebForms .UI
class LabeledPage : Page
{
protected void DoSomething()
{ /* Some Other Code */ }
}
}

If I'm just building a C# app, I'd compile an exe referencing not only my
main file but any other .cs files it uses. How do I do the analogous thing
in ASP.NET?

To paraphrase a friend: "Please note: I am not as irretrievably stupid as
this post makes me appear.", but am starting to feel that way!

TIA,

John

I don't know enought about Web Matrix.

Is Web Matrix solution driven? I mean could you add the TestBase.cs to the
solution.

Or do you have to compile it command-line style?

Hey Bill,

Thanks for reading! It's basically a free environment that, at least as far
as I've seen, doesn't do that much in the way of project building. To be
fair, I haven't explored it heavily.

I guess my more generic question goes outside of Web Matrix and more to how
..NET manages its applications (which I understand to essentially be the
folder the files are in, at least in the case of ASP.NET). I would think
that I could somehow reference the "base" .cs file (that defines the class I
want to use) from the file .cs file I want to use as the src in the aspx
page. For example, I can reference Test1.aspx.cs from the @Page directive
and ASP.NET will then be able to compile and use Test1.aspx.cs. If
Test1.aspx.cs needs a class in Test2.cs, how would it reference that?

Thanks,

John
