I am developing my first web application, it works with no issues on my local machine but I now want to deploy it onto a web server.
I have read multiple threads and watched some videos, the simplest way seemed to be to copy the files manually to my web server.
I have gone to Build > Publish Website > Publish Method (File System) and then published the site to a local folder. In video tutorials I have watched, this creates a Bin directory and packages the .cs files into this. For me it just outputs all of my files into the selected folder as they are seen in my solution view.
When this is copied to the web it then cannot find the files which are located in my App_Code folder. I have read there can be issues with putting class files into this folder, but I believe I am doing something fundamental wrong in my build/deployment process.
If anyone could identify what I have done wrong and the simplest steps to follow to get a working version online that would be much appreciated.
