WebAppication project doesn't like separate codefiles

[cmrchs@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have in my web application project (VS.NET 2008) :
- a webform (webform2.aspx, webform2.aspx.c s,
webform2.aspx.d esigner.cs)
- a code-file Product.cs.

But i can't use the definition of 'Product' nowhere in my page-class-
file (webform2.aspx. cs)

For example:

protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
Product p = new Product();
}

the compiler doesn't know the definition of Product

whereas if I place the definition of Product in the same codefile as
the WebForm.cs then it works.

How can i make it work just by keeping each class definition in its
own codefile?
By the way, what happened to the App_Code used in 2005?

thank you
Chris

If App_Code isn't there its because it hasn't been created yet. App_Code is
where your Product.cs should be. I would recommend you use a namespace as
well the word 'Product' is fairly common.

I concur with App_Code, if not in its own assembly. If that is not to your
liking, make sure you have the proper namespace referenced in your code
behind/beside file.

hello,

actually I previously put the code in App_Code, but even then it
doesn't work !
Only when I use it inline it works, but not when placed in the code-
behind file ???

So, the following works:
<script runat="server">
void Button1_Click(o bject sender, EventArgs e)
{
Product c = new Product();
Label1.Text = c.GetMyMessage( TextBox1.Text);
}
</script>

but not in the code-behind file, how come?

why doesn't it work the 'normal' way, I mean with the code-files in
the same directory as the aspx-file (it works like that in WinForms)
Or is there a way?

thank you

Do you have a line like this, to import the code-behaind class ?

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup ="false" CodeFile="some. aspx.cs" Inherits="_some " %>

Re: WebAppication project doesn't like separate codefiles

re:
!in the webApp-directory I have a file BindingToDataAc cessLayer.aspx starting with:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup ="true" CodeBehind="... " Inherits="WebFo rm1" %>

Please recheck that the Class in "BindingToDataA ccessLayer.aspx .cs" is actually named "WebForm1".

VS 2008 follows this type of class naming syntax in code-behind files:

In default.aspx.cs , the code-behind page for Default.aspx...
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.P age

Notice the underscore, and notice that the page's class
is named for the page name, with an underscore added.

It looks to me like like renamed an aspx page, but did not change the class name in the code-behind.

The IDE does not automatically change the class name for you if you rename a file.
If you ask me, I think it should... :-)

In any case, for a page named "BindingToDataA ccessLayer.aspx .cs",
this is the default syntax the IDE uses when creating the page and its code-behind class:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup ="true" CodeBehind="Bin dingToDataAcces sLayer.aspx.cs"
Inherits="_Bind ingToDataAccess Layer" %>

Your class can be named anything you want to,
but the Inherits statement must point to the correct class name.

Okay, this may be a totally useless suggestion, especially since
you're using in VS 2008, and my experience is with VS 2005, but...
Are you sure the product class is being compiled?
When I did a WebApplication in VS2005, and put classes in App_Code, I
had a problem where I simply could not see them in the rest of the
program. Even if I moved them to the root, I still couldn't see them.
I finally introduced deliberate syntax errors into the class, and then
did a Build, and the errors were not caught, thus convincing myself
that the files were not being included in the build.

I think the problem turned out to be (again, this may not apply to VS
2008) if you click a .cs file in the Solution explorer and look at the
Properties page for it, the first line there is "Build Action". For
the files I created in App_Code, it was set to "Content" instead of
"Compile", and it remained that way even if I moved the file.

Hope I didn't waste your time, but it might be worth looking at.

Re: WebAppication project doesn't like separate codefiles

What happens if you fully qualify the class name :

Inherits="YourN amespace.WebFor m1"

?

i.e., if your namespace is named WebApp :

Inherits="WebAp p.WebForm1"

This should do it IF you are using a namespace in your codebehind...wh ich you should, anyway :

namespace WebApp
{
public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.P age

no difference :-(

There was no namespace so it wasn't necessary but I've defined the
class in a namespace now

namespace MyNs
{
public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.P age
{
}
}

Inherits="MyNs. WebForm1"

but still nothing :-(

anyway ... as the best design still is a separate controlLib for each
tier-component I think I'll leave it at that. unless you have another
option ?

i was just curious about this App_Code thing but as you can imagine,
I'm not impressed at all by that functionality..
my experience with it? a waste of time.
what is supposed the benefit of it?
I can only use my product-class when using it in inline script in the
aspx-file, so why come up then with the idea of code-behind in the
first place?

Quite frankly, I'm not too impressed with it, either, primarily from a security viewpoint.
Uploading raw code to a server isn't a very secure approach to programming.

Also, there's no problems like the one you're encountering.

re:

I've evolved a personal preference which skirts the issues :

I compile assemblies with my helper classes ( my DAL layer ) from the command-line,
and place the resulting assembly in the /bin directory.

It's quite easy then to import my namespace with

<%@ Import Namespace="Data Objects" %>

....and instantiating the SQLDATA class is uncomplicated with :

Dim RS as New SQLDATA()

It works 100% of the time with no fuss.

I'd recommend ( depending on your time availability )
you dump what you're doing now...and create your own Data Access Layer (DAL).

Here's two pages with sample code which will help you get that done quickly :

I've evolved a personal preference which skirts the issues :

FWIW, I do virtually the same - in fact, I may have pinched the idea from
you in the first place... ;-)

I'd recommend ( depending on your time availability )
you dump what you're doing now...and create your own Data Access Layer

I couldn't agree more!

And dump all the SqlDataSource / ObjectDataSourc e hand-holding stuff at the
same time...
