App_Browsers
Contains the browser definition (. browser) file that ASP. NET uses to identify individual browsers and determine their capabilities. For more information, see Browser definition file Schema (browsers Element) and how to: Detect Browser Types in ASP.
App_Data
Contains application data files, including MDF files, XML files, and other data store files. ASP. NET 2.0 uses the App_Data folder to store the application's local database, which can be used to maintain membership and role information. For more information, see Introduction to Membership and understanding role management.
App_GlobalResources
Contains resources (. resx and. resources files) that are compiled into assemblies that have global scope. The resources in the App_GlobalResources folder are strongly typed and can be accessed programmatically. For more information, see ASP. NET page Resources Overview.
App_LocalResources
Contains the resources (. resx and. resources files) associated with a particular page, user control, or master page in the application. For more information, see ASP. NET page Resources Overview.
App_Themes
Contains a collection of files (. skin and. css files, as well as image files and generic resources) that define the appearance of ASP. For more information, see ASP. NET topic and Appearance overview.
App_WebReferences
Contains reference contract files (. wsdl files), schemas (. xsd files), and discovery document files (. disco and. discomap files) that define the Web references used in the application. For more information about the code that generates XML Web services, see Web Service Description Language tool (Wsdl.exe).
The following are the file contents that are unique to the ASP. NET. asp.
Bin
A compiled assembly (. dll file) that contains the controls, components, or other code that you want to reference in your application. Any class represented by the code in the Bin folder will be automatically referenced in the application. For more information, see Shared Code folders in ASP.
App_Code
Contains the source code for utility classes and business objects (such as. cs,. vb, and. jsl files) that you want to compile as part of the application. In a dynamically compiled application, when the first request is made to an application, the code in the App_Code folder is compiled by ASP. The items in the folder are then recompiled when any changes are detected.
Attention
You can place any file type in the App_Code folder to create a strongly typed object. For example, placing Web service files (. wsdl and. xsd files) in the App_Code folder can create strongly typed proxies.
The code in the App_Code folder will be automatically referenced in the application. In addition, the App_Code folder can contain subdirectories of files that need to be compiled at run time. For more information, see Shared Code folders and compilation codeSubDirectories elements (ASP. NET setting Schema) in an ASP.
