Answer 1

That's great.  All that can be done exactly the way you describe it.  But then I don't know what the question is.

I think you are looking for something like 3-tier architecture.

Here are some materials for your reference:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitier_architecture (General description)

http://www.dotnetfunda.com/articles/article71.aspx (a guid line of ASP.Net web application)

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winformsapplications/thread/2c15af26-7758-4268-9568-5932225cca32 (a similar case in MSDN forum)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms685068(v=vs.85).aspx ( a guid line in windows desk appliction developing)

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/10941/Three-Tier-Code-Generator-For-ASP-NET ( an example about using 3-tier)

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

I create the web site project. I then add the class library project. when I go to Solution Explorer and right click the web site, then click "Add references" , under the Projects tab, my class library project does not show up. my web site has a default aspx page. I am probably forgetting something simple. I am brand new to VS. also, when I create my web site, in Solution Explorer, i do not havea Solutions folder being shown.

I started by creating a web site thru File, New Web Site, instead of creating a new web application. 

Answer 4

We always do it with the below steps:

1. Build the class library. Right click the class library -> build

2. Add reference to the web site. Right click the web application -> Add references-> from project.

To build a solution, just perss F6 or at the menu bar click the build tab-> build solution. As default, it shoule be under

C:\Users\username\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\project name

Hope it helps.

Edit: I also would suggest you to try ASP.Net forums for better support, where experts live in.

Answer 5

Don't create a website project.  Instead, create a Web Application project.  They are a bit different, but the latter is much better.
