I am so confused, and I don't know what I could be doing wrong.
in VS2010, I create a project with a ProjectDAL class library, another class library called ProjectCommonObjecs and another class library called ProjectBLL and fill them all with code and it all compiles. Next, I add an ASP.NET Empty Web Site to the solution, called ProjectWebSite.
Then I copy some old website into the new one using Copy Web Site... on the context menu. In its \Bin folder there was a OldWebSite.DLL file and OldWebSite.PDB file. Thing is, I wanted to join the OldWebSite's Default.asp page to the Project's Default.aspx.cs code behind.
Thing is, after the copy, i have to have the OldWebSite.DLL file in the \Bin subfolder of my new Web Site project, otherwise when I do a build, then it says
Could not load type '_Default.'
in the Error List window inside the Visual Studio environment. When I have the OldWebSite.DLL file in the \Bin folder, everything compiles fine, but then my new code-behind is ignored; if the .DLL file is missing, then there is an error.
I've searched everywhere but can't figure out where there might still be a reference to the .DLL; there's nothing in the web.config and nothing in the Default.aspx markup page. The markup page references the CodeBehind OK as far as I can tell but I may be doing something wrong.
Here's a snippet from the top of the page code:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Codebehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" class="no-js">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
If anyone has an insight for me as to what this noob is doing wrong, please feel free to share! Thanks.
