Defines an ordered collection of subdirectories that contains files to compile at run time.

   <add />
   <clear/>
   <remove /> 
/>

Attributes and Elements

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

Attributes

None.

Child Elements

Element Description

add

Optional element.

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

clear

Optional element.

Removes all references to inherited subdirectory names, allowing only the subdirectories that are added by the current add element.

remove

Optional element.

Removes a reference to an inherited subdirectory name from the collection.

Parent Elements

Element Description

configuration

Specifies the required 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.

Remarks

The codeSubDirectories element defines an ordered collection of subdirectories that contain 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 shows how to define an ordered collection of assembly subdirectories. The subdirectories are listed in the order that the code must be compiled that is function of your code dependencies.

<configuration>
   <system.web>
      <compilation>
         <codeSubDirectories>
           <add directoryName="mySubDir1"/>
           <add directoryName="mySubDir2"/>
           <add directoryName="mySubDir3"/>
         </codeSubDirectories>
      </compilation>
   </system.web>
</configuration>
