None of my “code behind” code is being called

Question

I have just created an ASP.NET C# project and a virtual directory for it in IIS in (as far as I know) the normal way, but I am seeing very strange behavior that I have never see

Answer 1

Try changing :

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="Drawings2._Default" %>

to:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="Drawings2._Default" %>

The CodeBehind is for visual studio. I believe CodeFile is used for the JIT.

The other alternative is to compile your project and update your assembly in the bin dir.
