Hi all,

I have a basic question about ASP.NET web sites vs web application projects.

In a web site, you can right-click and “Add ASP.NET folder”, then choose “App_Code”, then put your class files in there like nature intended.

I’ve read advice that a web application project is the way to go for various reasons. If I create one, I can right-click / Add / Add ASP.NET Folder, but App_Code is not a listed option. What’s a good practice for where to put your class.cs files? (Right-click / Add / Class just puts in in the main project folder, kinda gunking it up.

Thanks!

You can always put them in a separate class library project (or projects) and add a reference to that project from your main web project.

Or, you could just make subdirectories in your main project folder and put them in there. If you only have a few, that'd probably be easier. For a project of any size though, I'd go with the class libraries.

As Lee pointed out, you can put them pretty much anywhere you like . Just don't create the App_Code folder manually and put them there, or you'll get in trouble...

Cheers,
