C# – How come classes in subfolders in the App_Code folder are not being found correctly

app-codeasp.netcnamespaces

I am getting the following error when I put class files in subfolders of my App_Code folder:

errorCS0246: The type or namespace name 'MyClassName' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

This class is not in a namespace at all. Any ideas?

You need to add codeSubDirectories to your compilation element in web.config

<configuration>
    <system.web>
      <compilation>
         <codeSubDirectories>
           <add directoryName="View"/>
         </codeSubDirectories>
      </compilation>
   </system.web>
</configuration>

C# – Create Generic method constraining T to an Enum

Since Enum Type implements IConvertible interface, a better implementation should be something like this:

public T GetEnumFromString<T>(string value) where T : struct, IConvertible
{
   if (!typeof(T).IsEnum) 
   {
      throw new ArgumentException("T must be an enumerated type");
   }

   //...
}

This will still permit passing of value types implementing IConvertible. The chances are rare though.

C# – The located assembly’s manifest definition does not match the assembly reference

The .NET Assembly loader:

is unable to find 1.2.0.203
but did find a 1.2.0.200

This assembly does not match what was requested and therefore you get this error.

In simple words, it can't find the assembly that was referenced. Make sure it can find the right assembly by putting it in the GAC or in the application path.
