Need help including a class file...

[wickedHangover]

Ok, so I have my default.aspx page and with it all the contents that it needs for the default.aspx.cs page. What i want to do is seperate parts of the .CS file into a class I would call ServerConnect which will handle all my database setup calls. So I put ServerConnect.c s into the app_code directory. When I run this on my machine locally, it picks up the class file no problem but when I put the machine on a live server I get an error

Compiler Error Message: CS0246: The type or namespace name 'ServerConnect' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I'm a little bit lost, I've read in numerous places that just adding the .cs file to the app_code directory is all you need to do. I must be missing something, can anyone help me understand how to bring in additional class files into a program?

Or am I just going about this all wrong. My intent is to create several class files that can be called by various programs without duplicating the code all the time. I just think my misunderstandin g is that I'm new to ASP, but not new to the C languages.

In your references you may need to add that class namespace to your project.

I guess I'm not really sure how to do that. My class uses a namespace so in the app_code directory I have a class class.cs and that class is of the namespace "MyClass".

Then in the default.aspx.cs file I add the line
using MyClass;

Then I publish the site without any errors, line 1 of the default.aspx code correctly calls the compiled DLL by name
<%@ page language="C#" autoeventwireup ="true" inherits="_Defa ult, App_Web_fogmnha q" %>

but I get the error

Could not load the assembly 'App_Web_fogmnh aq'. Make sure that it is compiled before accessing the page.

On the server, in \bin is App_Web_fogmnha q.dll

Is there something that is just so obvious that I am not doing in the setup? Like I said, if I run this all locally on my xp machine using the asp.net dev server it runs fine, once I publish it to a server which is running the latest asp.net 2.0 it doesn't work.

Is there something I need to add to the web.config? Or is it somewhere else in the compiler?

I'm just really lost on this one.

ok, i'm open to admit I was an idiot, actually more like IDIOT.

The problem was not that my code was wrong, it was that IIS wasn't configured properly. Everything runs smooth as silk now.
