I'm just getting started with VS 2005. One of the questions I have is regarding the App Code folder. I write my VB class code and drop the .vb file in the App Code folder. Then in my Webform .asp page I can access my classes. My question is how does the webform know about the classes in the App Code folder? I thought the class code in the App Code folder would get compiled into an assembly (.dll) and this would be placed in the bin folder. However, I have not created a bin folder and no .dll file has been created by VS. Is there an assembly being built behind the scenes which contains references to the classes I create in the App Code folder? Which brings me to my next question. If I have a .dll file containing classes, do I simply need to create the bin folder, add the .dll to the bin and then I can directly reference the classes in my .aspx page?
Thanks for any clarification on the App Code, bin, and referencing classes questions which seem to always be lingering.
