Thanks to Chris Pietschmann
There is a way to partition the App_Code folder into sub-folders, one for each set of code files written in the same programming language. Awesome, I didn't have to spend a couple hours converting code from VB.NET to C#!
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation>
<codeSubDirectories>
<add directoryName="VB_Code"/>
<add directoryName="CS_Code"/>
</codeSubDirectories>
</compilation>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Even if you don't use multiple different programming languages for your code files in the App_Code folder, you could use this feature to organize your sets of related code files into sub-folders.
Step 1: Add the following lines to the web.config
Step 2: Create a sub-folder in the App_Code folder for each language you want to support.
For Example:
/App_Code/VB_Code
/App_Code/CS_Code
Step 3: Place your VB.NET code in the VB_Code folder and place C# code in the CS_Code folder.
