    Hi All

    In my current sharepoint 2010 site -> Under virtual directory -> Site port -> there are folders (app_code and bin)

    Under App_code folder there is one .cs file and under bin folder there are .dlls 

    Now i want to compile this .cs file under app_code folder into a dll and place it in gac. How can i achieve this?

    I am not sure why the team earlier , had the file placed in app_code folder instead of compiling to dll

    Please share if you have any clue why they might have done so?

    Also, can i move the dlls that are present in bin folder to GAC? I think i need add as safe assemblies in the webconfig file.

    Is here anything else i need to do here,

    Please help

    Thanks in advance

    Usha

    Hi Usha,

    In .NET development, we can use the App_code folder to store files which can be access through the whole project(might be a custom web service).

    More information about it:

    http://www.dotnetmafia.com/blogs/dotnettipoftheday/archive/2006/08/17/app-code-folder.aspx

    For most of the developing options in SharePoint 2010, there is no need to setup an extra folder in the virtual directory.

    If you don’t need this App_code folder, as it might be used in an existing solution which fulfills a specific requirement, if the file in this folder is not owned by you, I suggest you contact the author of it to get more information about how it is used in your environment before perform any action on it.

    Best regards,

    Patrick
