In an aspx file where does the actual code gets loaded? - asp.net

So this code is in a file login.aspx which literally has some html mnarkup and the below code, so where does this code get loaded from? Where is the App_Web_login.aspx.d7a6dcf1 file located ?
<%# page language="C#" autoeventwireup="true" inherits="stadm_login,
App_Web_login.aspx.d7a6dcf1" enableeventvalidation="false" theme="Niko" %>

The code is contained in a file that is associated with its page. In Visual Studio if you load the project you will see a caret next to the aspx page. Click that and you will see a file associated with that page. That is the code file, or code behind, for the login page.
When the project is built, the code for each page is wrapped into a dll file or code package for the entire project. What you see for the inherits in the page is the base class for the project and also the inheriting of the page class.
So if my project is called FooProject, then at the top of each page where it says inherits, you will something like this (the _base class .page class):
inherits=_FooProject.Login

ASP.NET site error: Could not load type '[SITE]._Default'

I've written up an ASP.NET / VB site and it's been working fine all through debugging. However, once I publish the site and go to it in browser, I get the error listed in the title.
I've followed a few different sets of instructions to fix the problem, but none of the stuff I've tried seems to be working.
Here is what's at the top of my Default.aspx page:
<%# Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="[SITE]._Default" %>
And, the class in my Default.aspx.vb file:
Public Class _Default
I've tried changing "CodeBehind" to "CodeFile" which didn't work and gave me further errors. I'd also like to point out that another project was used as a template and renamed, along with all of the files associated with it, so maybe that's causing an issue? I have no idea. Any help would be appreciated!

ASP.NET Master Page on file in folder(s)

I have a small problem with an ASP page. I have a master file and it works great on all pages in the ROOT; however, if I create a folder (say: reports and folder insider there called userRpts) and add a page, the master doesn't apply.
So, I have a fodler structure like:
/reports/UserRpts/UserData.aspx
Master is set as: MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" in the <%# Page %>
Yet it doesn't apply. Any thoughts?

How to force update .ascx file content in Website project

I have Website project, which contains some .ascx and .aspx files. I have added new element <asp:TextBox ID="tb1" runat="server" ... /> in .ascx file and I have wrote some code in proper .ascx.cs file using this element: tb1.Text = "SomeText";. When I compile this project I recieve following error: The name 'tb1' does not exist in the current context.
How can I force to refresh markup of .ascx page? I use Website project and I cannot to change its type to Webapplication.
UPD: I have Website project, which has NOT .ascx.designers.cs files. And I cannot change type of my project to web application.
Unless there's something else happening here, it sounds like the designer.cs file might be out of sync. Try cutting and pasting the control back into the markup, or go into the designer file for the user control and add the TextBox manually:
protected global::System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox tb1;
It seems like your design file is not connecting with your code behind file.
Can you confirm if you are defining it as follows,
<%# Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="yourcontrol.ascx.cs" Inherits="CompleteNameSpace.ClassName" %>

Create code behind file after aspx has been created

I just inherited a web site that was created by a designer. The site was originally created with all *.html files. The designer renamed all the *.html files to *.aspx files. Hence there are no aspx.cs files created. I pulled the site into a new VS2012 solution. My question is, is there a way in VS 2010 to automatically create the code behind files for a an existing stand alone aspx file?
I don't know of an automated way to do this, but if there is no server side code in the existing *.aspx files then it should just be a case of adding the .cs codebehind files and then wiring them up in the <%# Page tag like so:
<%# Page Title="YourPageTitle" Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="YourPage.aspx.cs" Inherits="YourNamespace.YourPage" %>
Note: This will not create the YourPage.aspx.designer.cs file. (I usually delete these anyway as they cause merge issues - i find it easier to add the controls i need to reference to my code-behind file manually.)
The other alternative is to just create a new "Web Form" for each page with the correct names and then copy and paste the existing markup into them. If you do have server code in the existing *.aspx files then you will need to manually copy it to the code-behind.
Based on what I found here: http://forums.asp.net/t/1229894.aspx/1
Right click on your solution explorer.
Add New Item -> Class File.
Name the file as the name of your aspx eg: Default.aspx.cs
When it asks you the file should be in app_code click "no".
In your aspx in page attribute add
AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="Default"
Similarly in your class file that you just added remove everything. Your class should look like this:
//all namespaces go here
public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
After you add the new .cs file, you may want to see the file look like a codebehind file (indented, icon, etc). To do so:
Unload the project
Edit the project
Find the new filename (file.aspx.cs) in the section with files.
Add an xml node for DependentUpon.
Save and Close the project
Reload the project
For a file Profile.aspx.cs, the xml should look something like this:
<Compile Include="Profile.aspx.cs">
<DependentUpon>Profile.aspx</DependentUpon>
<SubType>ASPXCodeBehind</SubType>
</Compile>
In Visual Studio 2012: Right click on the project --> click Add --> click Web Form --> Copy the content of your original aspx file into the new WebForm aspx --> delete the original aspx file --> Rename the new one to anything you want.
Now you should have a new aspx file with a code behind file that is ready for use
To save yourself from the drama of manually editing the project file like David Frette details, I suggest you remove the file from the project and create a new file with the same name with a code-behind. Then copy-paste the contents of the original aspx or ascx to the new files.

How to add code behind manually on asp.net

I have a website on the IIS but it has only the aspx file. Now I need to add the code behind for some pages. How do I go about this?
I've been trying to add the attribute "codebehind" and "autoeventwireup" on the top of the aspx file but no luck (the page_load event is not being called). Also, if I double click on the button from the design view in Visual Studio, it creates the javascript handle (not the server code).
In your page directive on the aspx page (<%# Page...), you need two pieces:
1) CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb"
2) Inherits="_Default"
In your code-behind file, you need two things:
1) The file name has to be whatever you specified above (CodeFile = "...)
2) the class name has to be whatever you specified above (Inherits="_...)
For example, if your aspx page was named "default.aspx" then your page direction in the aspx page would look similar to this:
<%# Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_Default" %>
And your code-behind would look similar to this:
Partial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
End Class
you want the #page directive and the class attribute. MSDN docs here
