None of my “code behind” code is being called

Question

I have just created an ASP.NET C# project and a virtual directory for it in IIS in (as far as I know) the normal way, but I am seeing very strange behavior that I have never see

Answer 1

This appears to be a namespace issue as the dynamically compiled classes are colliding with the pre-compiled classes. I suggest doing the following:

1) Select a reasonable namespace for your app. "Drawing" is fine, but I suggest something more contextual such as CompanyName.ProjectName.AppName

2) Set this namespace as the default for the project (Project Properties > Application tab)

3) Change the namespace in each and every code file (.cs) and its corresponding reference in script files (.aspx, *.ascx)

4) Ensure that there are no duplicate classes (this should be flagged by the compiler)

5) Purge all files from the temporary ASP.NET folder

6) Recompile the project
