Create code behind file after aspx has been created

Question

I just inherited a web site that was created by a designer. The site was originally created with all *.html files. The designer renamed all the *.html files to *.aspx files.

1. Right click on your solution explorer.
2. Add New Item -> Class File.
3. Name the file as the name of your aspx eg: Default.aspx.cs
4. When it asks you the file should be in app_code click "no".

5. In your aspx in page attribute add

   AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="Default"
   

6. Similarly in your class file that you just added remove everything. Your class should look like this:

   //all namespaces go here
   
   
   public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page
   {
       protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
       }
   }
