I have created a website in ASP.NET and have created a class and put it inside of the App_Code folder. However I cannot access this from my other pages. Does something need to be configured to allow this? I have made it work in previous projects, but not in this one, somehow.

namespace CLIck10.App_Code
{
    public static class Glob
    {
        ...
    }
}

c# asp.net

  I assume you're including the namespace in your web pages? – Alex Czarto Aug 3 '09 at 13:19

Right click on the .cs file in the App_Code folder and check its properties.

Make sure the "Build Action" is set to "Compile".

  How can you set this as the default build action? or do I have to do that for every file in the App_Code folder? – Malachi Aug 3 '09 at 13:32

  Why can't I do this in Visual Studio 2012??! – R.S.K Jan 31 '13 at 10:10

  This appears to be a bug in VS2012. Happens to me too. – James Nail Jul 16 '13 at 23:02
