Greetings all,
This is my first post on Kirupa.com. I find the site super useful and check it regularly for new tutorials. Great work. I have two questions that you may be able to help with.
First: On the 4th page of the tutorial Creating a Simple ASP.NET Application it shows the build menu of Visual Web Developer Express 2005 (VWDE05) with more options than I have on mine (Publish … for instance). Is there a way to have those options for free? Was this an error?
Second: In attempting to build an asp.net application in c# with external .cs classes stored in the App_Code folder I have no problem previewing the app in the browser from within VWDE05. However, when I copy the files to my local wwwroot (windows 2000 pro, IIS, asp.net 2.0 etc…) I get an error indicating that the code in the external file is not accessible. I have tried many workarounds for this including namespaces but nothing has worked so far, as I am just learning C# and asp.net, it may be my fault. Am I running up against a limitation in VWDE05? Is there a way to reference classes stored in App_Code folder in .cs files from Default.aspx.cs with only VWDE05?
Thank you for your help.
