Article
04/30/2007

Adds a subdirectory to the collection of subdirectories that contain files to compile at run time.

This element is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

<add 
   directoryName="assembly sub-directory, relative to \App_Code"
/>

Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

Attribute	Description
directoryName	Required String attribute. Defines the name of a subdirectory that contains the files to compile at run time. Subdirectory names are relative to the App_Code directory. This is the collection key.

directoryName

Required String attribute.

Defines the name of a subdirectory that contains the files to compile at run time. Subdirectory names are relative to the App_Code directory. This is the collection key.

Child Elements

None.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
configuration	Specifies the root element in every configuration file that is used by the common language runtime and the .NET Framework applications.
system.web	Specifies the root element for the ASP.NET configuration section.
compilation	Configures all compilation settings that ASP.NET uses to compile applications.
codeSubDirectories	Defines an ordered collection of subdirectories containing files to compile at run time.

Remarks

The add element adds a subdirectory to the collection of subdirectories that contain files to compile at run time. The collection is contained in the codeSubDirectories element.

The codeSubDirectories element defines an ordered collection of subdirectories that contains files to compile at run time.

Subdirectory names are relative to the App_Code directory.

The build order is inferred from the top-down order of the codeSubDirectories collection. The App_Code directory is built last. However, there are no build order dependencies, which means that the build order is not significant.

Default Configuration

There is no default codeSubDirectories element configured for ASP.NET.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to define an assembly directory location.

<configuration>
   <system.web>
      <compilation>
        <codeSubDirectories>
          <add directoryName="/mysite/code/mySubDir"/>
        </codeSubDirectories>
       </compilation>
   </system.web>
</configuration>
