Teach Yourself e.net - Syspro

We are not going to go into all the compiler options in this book, but basically we've taken
WebForm.aspx.vb and compiled it into a DLL named WebForm.dll and placed it in the
application's /bin directory.
If you need further help on compiling codebehind code please read the online ASP.NET
help provided by Microsoft.
In order for .NET to find your classes, make sure your compiled files are stored in the /bin
directory off the root of your application. You need to make sure you've set your directory
up as an IIS application or else ASP.NET will go up the tree until it finds one and end up
at the /bin directory of the root application if it doesn't find one sooner.
Once you have compiled the codebehind and made sure that the DLL file is located within
the \bin directory within the root directory of your ASP.NET application, modify the
page directive on the .aspx presentation page. Change the page directive from
to:
6.2.4. Planning
You no longer need the Src attribute because the compiled codebehind file is located in the
/bin directory. The compiled classes in the /bin directory are automatically available to use
in all the ASP.NET pages in the application.
When planning to create your own custom class codebehind files, even if they are just
simple ones, you need to identify the controls and namespaces you will be utilizing so that
you can correctly reference them in the Imports section of the file. In order to demonstrate
this process, let's take a look at a sample codebehind file:
