Hmm, this is very strange. I don't think I've ever come across this problem.
It makes me feel like somehow some core configuration setting in ASP.NET
is messed up. Can you create a new project in VS.NET and make it work there?
Also, are you using a master page? If you are, then the root element you
need is a <asp:Content> elemenet.

The directory /App_Code is not allowed because the application is precompiled

I'm using VS.NET 2005 Beta 2. I have a helper C# class I wrote that I placed
in my /App_Code directory. Everything runs fine locally. However when I
use the "Copy Web" function to upload the site to the production server, I
get the following error when trying to run the page on production:
"System.Web.HttpException: The directory '/App_Code' is not allowed
because the application is precompiled."
Anyone know this works fine locally but not on development? How can I
resolve this?
Also on a related note I read a lot about a new "\code" directory in ASP.NET
2.0. Am I correct to assume that at some point they changed this from \code
to \App_Code and these are the same thing?
SteveHi, Steve.
re:
> Am I correct to assume that at some point they changed this from \code to

You're correct. In Beta 1 it was called /code.
In Beta 2, it was changed to /App_Code.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/w...eta2update.aspx
for a complete list of special directories.

You don't need to resolve it.
Because you're precompiling, everything that would go in the App_Code
directory is already compiled and doesn't need to be uploaded.
If you want to upload your source files into the
App_Code directory, don't precompile your application.

I am not purposely precompiling my application. How can I prevent it from
precompiling?
Locally I just use VS.NET 2005 b2 to do the development and press F5 to run
it. Sometimes I press F6 to get a sanity check on whether I've screwed any
code up.
For production, I want the flexibility to be able to edit source on the
production server to make an update on the fly, so the precompiled approach
is not of interest.
My main goal is to just be able to easily synchronize the work I do at home
on the production server, and then get to work and easily update my local
dev copy of the web app to reflect the changes I've made at home by syncing
with the production server. Then I'll make changes at work, and when I get
home, I'll want to sync my home machine up with what's now on the production
server, and so forth. Currently I'm (trying) to use the Copy Web function
for this. Is that appropriate and/or is there a better way?
Thanks,
Steve
Juan,

Well, there seems to be some sort of a conflict or design issue here with
this restriction.
I decided I'd just delete my App_Code directory from the remote site. I
figured this would be OK since its tellin gme the application is
precompiled. Yet then when I go to run a page it complains "The name
'myclass' does not exist in the current context". So if everything was
precompiled and no app_code directory is needed then what's the problem
here?
My preference is to precompile locally as I test and run my app, and then
when I publish to the remote server I want to publish all the files. I
can't seem to work around this. Any ideas?

I thought you had said you did *not* precompile.
There's a difference between "precompile" and "compile".
Which one are you doing ?
Have you tried to FTP your files instead of "publishing" them ?

Sorry about the confusion. Let me explain specifically what I'm trying to
do.
Locally I'm using whatever the default settings are, as it relates to
precompiling. When I look at the property pages of my ASP.NET web
application, and click on the Build section, the revelant sections say
"Before running startup page: Build Web Site". And "Build solution action"
section has the check box checked for "Build web site as part of solution".
That is how I like to run things because I prefer to know about any mishaps
I've made coding-wise before the page runs.
Now over to production... I like the Copy Web function because it seems like
a convenient way from within VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 to easily have it sync the
production site with changes as I make them in development.
However recently I added a App_Code folder with a few utility classes I've
created. Now when I do the Copy Web the production site complains that the
App_Code folder is not allowed.
So my questions specifically are:
1) Is there a way where I can still use Copy Web in this scenario?
2) If not, how do I tell my local machine to not precompile and clear itself
from any precompiled files, so that when I do a copy web the remote site is
not in a precompiled mote? In other words, I assume my local machine has
the precompiled files that are being copied with Copy Web. So I do these
get deleted, and how do I set things set up locally so its no longer
prcompiled, so that my production server will be happy once I do a complete
Copy Web to try and straighten things out?
3) If I have to resort to a FTP copy, files with what extension should get
copied specifically? Or perhaps its easier toi look at it the other way -
which file extensions need to be deleted from the production server so it
does not see the web pages there as being "precompiled"?
Thanks so much. I'm looking forward to your answer as I have been stuck on
this for a few days. I really appreciate the help.

Hi, Steve.
What this sounds like is that, at some point, the "Publish Web Site"
tool was used instead of the "Copy Web" tool, and that the
"Allow this precompiled site to be updatable" option was not selected.
See : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1y1404zt
for a step-by-step guide to using the "Publish Web Site" tool.
You can change the "Allow this site...to be updatable" option.
You might also want to take a look at the "Copying a website" walkthrough:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xay0wxbf
and at : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1cc82atw
"Copying Web Sites with the Copy Web Site Tool"
You might be missing a key step in the process,
and reviewing those walkthroughs might point it out to you.

Thanks. I thnk you hit the nail on the head in that at one point a long
time ago I did use the Publish Web Site tool and probably did not check that
option.
It looks like I've resolved it by deleting the entire remote site and then
using Copy Web over again.

The directory /App_Code is not allowed because the application is precompiled

I'm using VS.NET 2005 Beta 2. I have a helper C# class I wrote that I placed
in my /App_Code directory. Everything runs fine locally. However when I
use the "Copy Web" function to upload the site to the production server, I
get the following error when trying to run the page on production:
"System.Web.HttpException: The directory '/App_Code' is not allowed
because the application is precompiled."

Anyone know this works fine locally but not on development? How can I
resolve this?

Also on a related note I read a lot about a new "\code" directory in ASP.NET
2.0. Am I correct to assume that at some point they changed this from \code
to \App_Code and these are the same thing?

SteveHi, Steve.

re:

You're correct. In Beta 1 it was called /code.
In Beta 2, it was changed to /App_Code.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/w...eta2update.aspx
for a complete list of special directories.

You don't need to resolve it.

Because you're precompiling, everything that would go in the App_Code
directory is already compiled and doesn't need to be uploaded.

If you want to upload your source files into the
App_Code directory, don't precompile your application.

I am not purposely precompiling my application. How can I prevent it from
precompiling?

Locally I just use VS.NET 2005 b2 to do the development and press F5 to run
it. Sometimes I press F6 to get a sanity check on whether I've screwed any
code up.

For production, I want the flexibility to be able to edit source on the
production server to make an update on the fly, so the precompiled approach
is not of interest.

My main goal is to just be able to easily synchronize the work I do at home
on the production server, and then get to work and easily update my local
dev copy of the web app to reflect the changes I've made at home by syncing
with the production server. Then I'll make changes at work, and when I get
home, I'll want to sync my home machine up with what's now on the production
server, and so forth. Currently I'm (trying) to use the Copy Web function
for this. Is that appropriate and/or is there a better way?

Thanks,

Well, there seems to be some sort of a conflict or design issue here with
this restriction.

I decided I'd just delete my App_Code directory from the remote site. I
figured this would be OK since its tellin gme the application is
precompiled. Yet then when I go to run a page it complains "The name
'myclass' does not exist in the current context". So if everything was
precompiled and no app_code directory is needed then what's the problem
here?

My preference is to precompile locally as I test and run my app, and then
when I publish to the remote server I want to publish all the files. I
can't seem to work around this. Any ideas?

I thought you had said you did *not* precompile.
There's a difference between "precompile" and "compile".

Which one are you doing ?

Have you tried to FTP your files instead of "publishing" them ?

Sorry about the confusion. Let me explain specifically what I'm trying to
do.

Locally I'm using whatever the default settings are, as it relates to
precompiling. When I look at the property pages of my ASP.NET web
application, and click on the Build section, the revelant sections say
"Before running startup page: Build Web Site". And "Build solution action"
section has the check box checked for "Build web site as part of solution".

That is how I like to run things because I prefer to know about any mishaps
I've made coding-wise before the page runs.

Now over to production... I like the Copy Web function because it seems like
a convenient way from within VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 to easily have it sync the
production site with changes as I make them in development.

However recently I added a App_Code folder with a few utility classes I've
created. Now when I do the Copy Web the production site complains that the
App_Code folder is not allowed.

So my questions specifically are:

1) Is there a way where I can still use Copy Web in this scenario?

2) If not, how do I tell my local machine to not precompile and clear itself
from any precompiled files, so that when I do a copy web the remote site is
not in a precompiled mote? In other words, I assume my local machine has
the precompiled files that are being copied with Copy Web. So I do these
get deleted, and how do I set things set up locally so its no longer
prcompiled, so that my production server will be happy once I do a complete
Copy Web to try and straighten things out?

3) If I have to resort to a FTP copy, files with what extension should get
copied specifically? Or perhaps its easier toi look at it the other way -
which file extensions need to be deleted from the production server so it
does not see the web pages there as being "precompiled"?

Thanks so much. I'm looking forward to your answer as I have been stuck on
this for a few days. I really appreciate the help.

Hi, Steve.

What this sounds like is that, at some point, the "Publish Web Site"
tool was used instead of the "Copy Web" tool, and that the
"Allow this precompiled site to be updatable" option was not selected.

See : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1y1404zt
for a step-by-step guide to using the "Publish Web Site" tool.

You can change the "Allow this site...to be updatable" option.

You might also want to take a look at the "Copying a website" walkthrough:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xay0wxbf

and at : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1cc82atw
"Copying Web Sites with the Copy Web Site Tool"

You might be missing a key step in the process,
and reviewing those walkthroughs might point it out to you.

Thanks. I thnk you hit the nail on the head in that at one point a long
time ago I did use the Publish Web Site tool and probably did not check that
option.

It looks like I've resolved it by deleting the entire remote site and then
using Copy Web over again.

Thanks again Juan. On a different subject - since we are talking I was
wondering what approach you use to resolve the issue I posted about in a
posting called: "How to remove virtual path from root url of dev web server"
in this newsgroup on August 28. Likewise I have a similiar issue that I
posted about under the subject "Masterpage issue with relative links to
background images" on August 27.

It would be great if you could please share your thoughts on these
challenges.

Thank you,

Steve

I have a local 03 server and i'm using IIS6, SQL 2005 and when go to run my aspx page i get "System.Web.HttpException: The directory '/App_Code/' is not allowed because the application is precompiled." but the remote server works fine. any ideas? thanks

Anyone know this works fine locally but not on development? How can I

Also on a related note I read a lot about a new "\code" directory in ASP.NET

to \App_Code and these are the same thing?

The element html occurs too few times.

I am using Beta 2 and have a problem with aspx files in that it is refusing to compile unless I have a top level HTML element. The problem with this is that I do not want to define the top level html in the aspx page, I want to define it in a usercontrol and then load that dynamically at runtime just as I can in ASP.NET 1.1. Surely there are other reasons you would want to have an aspx page without an <html> tag in it, I can think of several, why is there this limitation as it severly limits flexibility.
It says "The element 'html' occurs too few times."
Is there anyway to turn off this error to get it to compile?
Richard
"Surely there are other reasons you would want to have an aspx page without an <html> tag in it"
Like when? an aspx page is goign to spit out an HTML document, so the <html> tag makes perfect sense
Sounds like you have your programming all backwards, the aspx page should have the shell and the user controls should have the dynamic content, not the other way around
Like for example when you are trying to output WAP content for one, or plain text for another.
This is because I need to be able to easily substitute the head sections primarily dynamically, this enables multiple sites to run on the same codebase looking for Host headers to load the appropriate templates, it also allows easy support for text only versions of sites, just by dynamically loading text only versions of the user controls, this is for a database driven website content managed system.
Ive looked into master pages but they dont seem to really allow enough flexibility to do what I need to do as they require the definition of the whole document in them, but maybe ill have to work out some way to fudge it with those.
Im not sure what you are refering to about doing it backwards, the aspx page is the shell that loads up the user controls, and the user controls are what contain the dynamic content.
Hello.
Are you also removing the <head> section from the page? I've noticed in the past that if you remove the <html> tag but leave the <head runat="server"> you'll get that errror when you build the project in VS.
one more thing: you can use "filters" to apply different master pages to different browsers. for instance:

<%@.PageLanguage="C#"ie:MasterPageFile="~/Cap14/IE.master"MasterPageFile="~/Cap14/Mozilla.master"%>
applies a master page to IE and another to the other browsers. Check your browsers files to see the IDs of the browsers... oh, and you can alsouse adapters to render your pages/controls according to your needs in different browsers...


I don't think missing <html> element is an error. It is HTML markup validation message and is supposed to be a warning. Does it really break compilation or the page still runs? You can deal with the message in a few ways. First, you can disable validation in Tools | Options | Text Editor | HTML | Validation. Second, you can edit validation schema in Program Files\...\Common7\Packages\schemas\html (IE6_0.xsd, for example) and delete minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" from the <xsd:element name="html" >. Third, instead of using ASPX page, you can define your own file type, add it to the web.config and implement a handler for the type that will generate the response programmatically.

Giving it a fuller test it doesnt seem to break compilation on its own, I was getting other compilation errors too which were actually stopping it, but it does get reported as an error rather than a warning along with the other errors leading you to believe it is stopping compilation and needs to be fixed before you can compile.


I say just ignore it. If you are making an XML page, you can't have the <html> tag, for instance. So, just ignore it. That's what I do.
