What have you tried? Which version ot asp.net? Are you using VS?

I am working on visual studo 2005 professional edition.
I am working on asp.net 3.0

Actually, i tried a very simple thing.

I created a class library. Inside the library i wrote a simple method as below

namespace DllTest
{
    public class Class1
    {
        public Class1()
        {
        }
        public string check(string a)
        {
            string j = a + "Test ok";
            return j;
        }
    }
    
}

I build the program, So a dll will be created in the debug folder of the above application.


Now I create a simple new application in C# and asp.net and include the above dll using Add Reference

i included the namespace

using DllTest;

and wrote the below code in button click event

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DllTest.Class1 a1 = new Class1();
            string jj= a1.check("checkout");
            MessageBox.Show(jj);
        }

Now when i execute the above program , it will show at the button click
"checkoutTestOk "



Now as stated above, I have created a ClassLibrary.
My question was, is there anything ,just similar to the ClassLibrary, in web applications

In case i want a webapplication to be called in various other webpages, Can i do something similar to the above

Unlike any other application, webpages consist of classses.
However they also have aspx pages which are not compilable.

What you could do is, deploy your web application as a precompiled application
Have a look at this article on how to do so.

This then creates dll's of all pure code files, but puts that in a dll which is named pretty horrifically.

You can add this dll to other projects, and work with it.

But a better way would be to identify which classes would be accessed, and create libraries of them, and access it using both applications

Thanks for the article.
I will try out and revert back soon
