Hi! Having Problem while placing vb and cs files together

[shwetu]

If i place vb and cs class files together in App_Code in asp.net 2.0 i
get error that i can't place as they us a different language which is
not allowed as they have to be complied together.

Is there any solution???

I am not aware of any solution for creating a secondary App_code
folder. I think the solution would be to translate the smallest
(/easiest) code file :-(

The single App_Code directory can only contain files of the same language.

However, you can add subdirectories to the App_Code directory
in order to process multiple languages under the App_Code directory.

In order to do this, you need to register each subdirectory in the application's Web.config.

<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="false">
<codeSubDirectories>
<add directoryName="VB"/>
<add directoryName="CS"/>
</codeSubDirectories>
</compilation>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Then, simply creating the App_Code\VB and App_Code\CS directories,
and placing your VB and CS files in each, will allow you to use both languages in your app.

This only works in ASP.NET 2.0! ( and is quite easy to implement )

Juan,

Does this also work for code files placed in other folders? E.g.

<webroot>
<App_Code>
<App_Code\VB>
MyClass.vb
<App_Code\CS>
MyClass.cs
<home>
default.aspx
default.aspx.vb
<welcome>
default.aspx
default.aspx.cs

No, Mark.

You can't place *.vb and .cs files in different directories
of your app and expect them to compile [ wouldn't that be nice... ]

The VB/CS code subdirectories are *only* for class files.
The code in each of the dirs declared in web.config will be compiled to a separate assembly.

An alternate way to handle this would be to compile your different-language source code
to an assembly which you place in the /bin directory, and not upload the source files at all.

Hurrah! That's precisely what I was hoping you'd say! Long story, but thank
God for that!

Makes sense, now you come to mention it...

An alternate way to handle this would be to compile your
different-language source code
to an assembly which you place in the /bin directory, and not upload the
source files at all.

Or, even better, just stick to C#...
