Configuration :: CS0103 Error When Calling Class Contained In App_Code Folder

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have created a simple ASP.NET Website in Visual Studio 2010. I have a static C# class (lets call it someClass) contained in a separate file in the App_Code folder. I call a method from that class in my page's code behind like so:

C#

someVar = someClass.someMethod(someParam);

This compiles correctly in VS 2008 but when I move it over to my IIS server, I get the following error

(CS0103): Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately. Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'someClass' does not exist in the current context

I have created a virtual directory for this website enabling 'Read', 'Run scripts (such ASP)', and 'Execute (such as ISAPI applications or CGI)'. I am not currently utilizing namespaces (as I thought I would not need to and I'm not sure how to use them properly). What am I doing wrong?

Not enough information. OK, ask yourself, where is that class?

Solution 1

You may need using directives (and probably first add reference to the project where your "someClass" is)

Solution 2

Even in the case the namespace of the asp Page is the same as your helper classes, you need to import the namespace explicitly using the <@ Import namespace="..." %> directive
