I added a class but whatever I do the class is not visible to my aspx
pages or anywhere else.

I then changed the property Build Action in my class from Content to
Compile. Now it is recognized.

Why do I need to do this?

Sounds like something's up with your installation of VS.NET, as classes
(should) have their Build Action property set to Compile by default...

Hi,

I think the problem is where the classes are being added to.
App_Folder or somewhere else.

I created a Web Application Project.

When I add a class to App_Folder it VS 2008 makes "Build: Content". If
I add the class somewhere else it says "Build: Compile".

The problem is when I create classes in App_Folder they don't seem to
be accessible to ASPX pages as it is usual in Web Site.

When I changed them "Build: Compile" then I am able to build the
solution with no errors but when I preview an ASPX pages I get errors
everywhere.

The only solution I found was to make all classes "Build: Compile" and
rename the App_Code folder to New_App_Code.

I think I am missing something.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Miguel
