Renaming App_Code
When creating a new Web Service in Visual Studio 2005 two folders are created. One is called App_Data and one is called App_Code. I would like to rename the folder, but if I do the web service doesn't work. I get something like...
Could not create type 'Service'.
... as a compile/validation error when building. What is the problem? Isn't it possible to rename the App folder?
Thanks, Jacob.

Hi...
The App_code , App_data , Themes etc are called ASP.net Folders.
Your ASP.net Application looks into these folders for databases, classes etc depending on their name.
So, we are not supposed to rename them

Thank you for the reply. I saw that the folders had special icons etc. but figured that it somehow was possible to rename them, but I guess not. IMHO, this is really bad; i.e. to have non-configurable folder names!
Thanks anyway, Jacob.

Hi Jacob,
Yeah, it's not very convenient. Then again, now that everyone uses the same folder names, it's easy to see what should go where.
You may want to read this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/wh...ta2update.aspx with the section "Alternate Solutions Considered" in particular, to understand why this decision was made.
And if you really don't like the App_Code folder, you always move your code into a separate class library project....
Cheers,
Imar

Thanks, Imar.
I found it very informative; especially the section Alternate Solutions Considered. Configurable directories have been considered. After all it is just nice to know that I do not have to search for a solution to rename the folder anymore... sadly it cannot be done.
BTW... I have also used the Class Library approach.
Thanks again, Jacob.
