Hi guys,

      This problem has been bugging the hell out of me. I am using visual studio 2005 developer's edition and I have created a new empty solution by clicking File->New Project->Other Project Types->Visual Studio Sloution->Blank Sloution (This is a blank solution template). After that i add new porject by right clicking on the solution and Click on "New Project" and add "New WebSite". When I right click on the New Project that i added, and go to "add" ->"add asp.net Folder" -> I dont see the option to add "app_code" folder. Why is that ? When i do the same for the New Website that i added i could see all the asp.net folders in the same solution. If you could assist me on that that would be great. I could add the App_code manually but will that create any problems for me later on. Any explained help will be much appreciated. 

Thanks

Kabir

Just skip the step of adding app_code and add some code (a new .cs file).  The IDE will create the folder for you.

That did not work i try to add a new item and then click on class and add the class but i just went in to the project folder instead of app_code folder!

Thanks

Sounds like you have already tried to manually add and then deleted.

I just created the new solution and project and add new .cs file, it did not work it does not create a app_code folder by itself. When I do create the app_code folder manually i changes to asp.net app_code folder icon and when i convert the application in to web application it change it rename the app_code folder to old_app_code folder. and there is no intellisense inside the .cs files i create under the app_code folder.???

 Thanks

Are you sure you added a Web site and not Web Application?

I am quite sure becuase i have tried it about a 10 or 15 time creating solutions and adding web projects not web sites becuase i want my project folder visible to me.

I dont know what to do? Well there is a solution to this problem if i can add a class library project in the solution and precompile it and add it to the bin folder of my web project and then access the classlib.dll from the bin but how do you access the classes in dll. can any one provided me with steps i need to take to accomplised this??????

Thanks everyone

If you are using Web Application, then App_Code does not apply. App_Code is for Web site only. The reason is that App_Code is the only folder that is actually compiled so that's where classes should go. In Web Application all files are compiled, so classes can be placed anywhere and hence there is no need for the dedicated folder. In order to use Class library (which is better idea than App_Code anyway), add a reference to the Class Library project in your Web Application.

Thanks! Mikhail. That will work for me.
