Hello, I am trying to convert a ASP.NET 1.1 Application to ASP.NET 2.0 application.

When I tried to open the app in VS.NET 2005, it asked me for converting the project for which i confirmed to continue.

The Actual problem started from here.

The new application is having a folder named App_Code and some of the files are added here. When i tried to compile the converted app, it throwed many errors.

Here are the project details (ASP.NET 1.1 Project)

-> All the aspx pages uses a page B which inturn uses page A which is derived from System.Web.UI.Page

-> All the ascx  pages are in its ownFolder.

-> All the constants that I am using across the application are present in page A

Any new page that i create will be of the form

newPage : B

and Page B's namespace looks like

B : A

I am doing wrong anywhere?

I am stuck with my work.

It'd be nice of the administrators of this forum to create a new folder for converting the ASP.NET 2003 apps to ASP.NET 2005.

Hoping a reply from any of you at the earliest.

Thanks,

Hello,

App_Code is a new addition to the Website model in ASP.NET 2.0. It contains all standalone/helper .cs/.vb files and they are compiled automatially whenever you change anything in the files within. All classes in this folder are referenced automatically in the rest of the application. Also in the Website model, there are no default namespaces created automatically.

You can put both A and B in the App_Code folder. Things should work fine, I cannot comment more unless you tell me what exactly are the errors thrown.

Alternatively, you can convert your project in 2003 to the Web Application Project model in 2005 (similar to the project model in 2003). See this link for details:

Hope this helps,

Vivek

Besides using the alternate method is there any other way to fix this error,  The File "X" is in the special directory 'App_Code', which is not allowed?

Thanks.
