EXT: ASP. NET MVC 3 and App_Code folder

Problem:

In ASP. Webform, App_Code is Standardfolder to putting Code and using it at Run-time. But I think this folder was kind of different in ASP. NET MVC, my question is:

• Where should I put my code (Extension methods, Helpers, ...) in ASP. When the I store code in App_Code folder, I can ' t use the theme in controller but they work fine in the views.

• About the Entity Framework, the same question, where should I put edmx and tt files. I ' m not using Code-first

Update:

After some search, finally I created a new Class Library project in my solution, code was available in Allcontroll ERs and views. I still don ' t know why the code in App_Code was not a available in controller

Reply:

App_Code is necessary in Web Site projects because it has a special meaning. It means "Don t serve these files to a Web browser". In ASP. Directly served to the browser in most cases, so App_Code was not necessary. You can place the code files whereever you want, with any folder for you want.

Using A stand-alone library is also a fine solution.
