ASP.net 1.1 ASPX page cannot 'see' App_Code class when not debugging

[jon86]

Hi.

I am writing a website based on ASP.net 1.1 [downgraded from ASP.net 2] and I have a strange problem.

I have a class in App_Code called DB.cs which has no namespace defined. This class is used by various ASPX pages and their respective code-behind pages. When I debug the page, the class can be 'seen' and I get no compilation errors. However, when I run it without the debugger, the DB class cannot be 'seen' and I get a CS0246 error message.

CS0246: The type or namespace name 'DB' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I didn't have this problem when the website was using ASP.net 2.

Do you have any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks.
Jon

the App_Code folder was introduced in .NET 2 and so it will not work in 1.1,. You need to give it a namespace to get it to work.
