While connecting to database or creating custom modules we have been asked to add a new folder to App_Code. but to my surprise the App_Code Folder does not exist at all.All the documents for e.g. in http://www.adefwebserver.com/dotnetnukehelp/LinqTutorial/LinqTutorial2.htm  provided speak about this App_Code Folder but i have failed to understand what am i supposed to do as the DNN site File does not have an App_Code Folder. Or if i m missing it can anyone point out to me where can i find it..Otherwise please suggest an alternative for this..

I really need help in this respect because m not getting any help from any of the present documents in this respect. Please help me..

Thanks in advance...

Papiya,

please be aware that you only need the App_Code folder when you create a WSP (Web Site Project), which is a bit of an out-of-time method to create modules. Search the web for and read the blog entries about DNN module development using WAP (Web Application Project). It makes compilation and distribution of your modules much easier.

Best wishes
Michael

Simply create an /App_Code folder in the root folder of you site and put the files i there.

FWIW since he indicated that he is following a tutorial about linq this does kinda make sense.

And you know - for in house and custom module development - ive yet to actually find a single good reason NOT to use WSP - sure if you are planning on selling your module and want to hide the source code from 3rd parties yes - but there are some serious development upsides to not having to deal with compile cycles while debugging and testing a site.
