code samples run fine from within IDE but get error message when I try to outside. for example, the calculator pp62-64:

 Compiler Error Message: BC30002: Type 'Calculator' is not defined.

it's not a data access problem for this example. 'Calculator', by the way, is in the code folder as recommended in the book. my IIS home directory is \inetpub\wwwroot and the file is in Websies\website1 below this. IIS has ASPNET 2.0 showing.

Could you post the code, I don't have the book. You are using Visual Studio .NET beta?

here's the script on main page:
----
<script runat="server">
    Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim myCalc As New Calculator
        Label1.Text = myCalc.Add(12, 3)
        Label2.Text = myCalc.Subtract(34, 67)
    End Sub
</script>
----
The html just displays labels.  the Calculator is defined in the code folder -- for testing I did the Add as VB and the Substract as CS :
--------  VB
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Public Class Calculator
    Public Function Add(ByVal a As Integer, ByVal b As Integer) As Integer
        Return (a + b)
    End Function
End Class
--------

--------  CS
using System;

public class Calculator
{
    public int Subtract(int a, int b)
    {
        return (a - b);
    }
}
--------

webconfig file:
.
.
<system.web>
   <compilation debug="true">
      <codeSubDirectories>
        <add directoryName="VB"></add>
        <add directoryName="CS"></add>
      </codeSubDirectories>
   </compilation >
</system.web>
.
.

It runs fine out of the IDE (visual web developer express - part of visual stdio 2005) but gives error when I run the same program in IE (whichs runs other examples fine)
Thanks for any help you can give.

You can't have the same class defined twice. In this situation, I don't know if that is the case. Defining the same class in VB and C# doesn't merge the methods into the same object.

Thanks.
 My point is that when I use the IDE to run it, it works fine. By the IDE I mean Visual web developer -> RUN which opens a port. My IIS shows that Framework 2.0 is active....
