Hi. I'm new to asp.net and I've been searching on the net and in book on
how to use custom namespace. I've created my own custom namespace and I
just need a straight answer on where to put the namespace file so I can
import them in the webpage. Can someone clarify? Thanks.
 
Hi,

If (you create a custom namespace in a different project)
{
... add the project reference...
And just import the namespace top of the class....
}
else if (you created custom namespace in same project)
{
start using it,... with full qualified
name or import.... in top of the class...
}


Thanks

But where do I put the namespace files? I'm using notepad as my editor.
I'm creating each individual asp page and put them all in a folder. do i
put it in the wwwroot folder? Thanks.
 
cykill,
There is no such animal. namespace is a way of categorizing classes and
other objects (Enums, structs, etc) so that you can disambiguate between
classes of the same name. For example:

namespace MyCustomNamespace.Data
{

public class SqlClient
{
.....
}

}

There is a SqlClient class in the .NET Framework already. By specifying your
custom namespace, you can still have such a class of your own invention, and
disambiguate with "MyCustomNamespace.SqlClient"

ok. if you were to create your example of classes, where do you put it so
other asp.net code can use it?
 
I guess I just want to know where to put all my class files so that I can
use them with other code. I take it that I can't put them in any
directory like c:\temp? Sorry if this has been confusing. I don't quite
know how to explain it. I'm new to .net stuff. I usually do java stuff.
Java has a directory called "classes" to put all your custom classes. And
if I want to create directories under the directory "classes", like
"classes/mycustomproject/dbqueries", I can just put them in there an
import them in my code like mycustomproject.dbqueries.*. Sense? What's
the asp.net equivalent?

Ah - OK.

No - they need to be within your project's folder structure.

You can create a folder called 'classes' if you like, but it has to be
within your project's folder structure.

You say you're using Notepad to do this - is there any *specific* reason for
this?

If not, I strongly suggest you do yourself a *huge* favour and download
this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vwd/ - it's completely free,
and will make your life so much easier...

If you need database support, download this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/default.aspx - again, it's
completely free.
 
No specific reason of using notepad. I'll look into visual studio
express. Didn't know there was a free version of VS out there. Can I put
the class files in c:\inetpub\wwwroot as those files will be used in my
web application? Thanks.

No - see my previous answers...
