App_Code folder

Question

Hi,

 

I have created a simple project (website) using asp.net. The project has a default page (Default.aspx) and a class (Class1.cs). Class1.cs resides inside a folder called App_Code.

 

The Default.aspx page has a button and a label. On a click of the button, I'd like to populate the label with a text of "hello world".

 

The text (hello world) is comming from a method called "foo" which resides in Class1.cs.

 

When I run it locally (http://localhost:8080/Default.aspx), it works fine.  But, when I upload it to the webserver, and run it from browser, it doesn't work.  

 

Here is the error message generated from the server: The name 'Class1' does not exist in the current context 

 

My code:

 

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

      Label1.Text = Class1.foo();

}

 

public static string foo()

{

      return "hello world";

}

 

Please help!

 

thanks
