R – Why won’t windows explorer sort directories under the ‘Temporary ASP.NET Files’ directory by name

asp.netdirectoryexplorersortingtemporary-files

When I navigate to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\myfirstproject\202aebd2\f0e764e2\assembly\dl3 in Windows explorer, there are 108 folders with 8 character hexadecimal names. Explorer won't sort this folder by name (or value ). What gives?

It is sorting them by name. Unfortunately, it's using a natural sort which includes numbers. This means that 99b6... sorts before 182c..., because 99 < 182.

Some reasons I can think of:

You have an App_Code directory in your project
You have a CodeFile page directive in the some page markup instead of CodeBehind

C# – Compile Error CS0433 on pre-compiled ASP.NET 2.0 site

killing Cassini instances as above didn't work for me. ScottGu posted about this issue

setting the batch="false" attribute on the compilation section in web.config worked for me.

<configuration>

   <system.web>
       <compilation debug="false" batch="false"></compilation>
   </system.web>

</configuration>

This tells ASP.NET to dynamically compile individual .aspx/.ascx files into separate assemblies. This avoids the circular reference issue that triggers the exception.
