APP_Code Folder

[Frinavale]

I created a custom class that inherits from the CheckBoxList.
I placed the the code for this in the App_Code folder because it's used through out my web application.

I ran into a namespace problem when I right clicked and added the new class to the App_Code folder...so I recreated the class in the root of my application.

Everything compiled properly, ran like a dream.

I figured, to keep organized, I'd move the class into the App_Code folder now that it was working. Once I did that it, the class no longer worked because it couldn't find an object type that's defined in a DLL that I'm using in the class........even though I import the namespace into the code.

Could someone please explain to me why placing classes into the App_Code folder breaks namespaces?

I've since moved all of my code into a new folder named "classes" and everything's working like a dream...I just don't understand what is with that folder.

Are you sure there is supposed to be a namespace?
You guys knew more about this then me last time, but nothing in my app_code HAS a namespace.

And I know that when you add an item to a folder, it prepends the folder's name to the class name or something.

Like when I create an aspx page in the Manager folder, instead of being:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="ManagerClientSiteTracking.aspx.cs" 
Inherits="ManagerClientSiteTracking" %>

it's

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="ManagerClientSiteTracking.aspx.cs" 
Inherits="Manager_ManagerClientSiteTracking" %>

Perhaps there is something strange like that happening?
