I am toying around with the Module Creator (primarily because of Razor). However, I don't like that it creates code files in /App_Code. I tried to "create" my own folder when I input the name of the code file by doing "/FolderName/ClassName.cs" but got an error (which I half expected - I saw that it said it would place the file in /App_Code).

I presume I would not be able to designate a folder for an .ascx or .cshtml file either.

My question is whether or not I can create that code file, then remove it from /App_Code and put it in a specific folder in the actual module's directory (the same for .ascx and .cshtml files)? Is this impossible? Will it not work?

Thanks.

The need to the /app_code/ folder is a function of ASP.NET -  basically the best way to think of it - is as an AUTOCOMPILE folder - any code put in here will be compiled automatically and linked into the currently running application.

This means no need for building a compiled .dll - the system looks after it all internally.  As such the moment you request a page  -  all the objects and controls defile in the /app_code/ folder automatically become available to access from other modules in the system.   This is how RAZOR is able to make use of them.  Without this process - you would need to build .dll libraries for razor to call - which kinda defeats the purpose of RAZOR scripting.
