This is regarding ASP.NET 2.0.
I need the same code to be executable at the root of a website and in
subfolders of the website. I know of two possibilities:
[1] put the code in a DLL and put the DLL in the 'Bin' subfolders of the
root and the subfolders.
[2] put the source code directly in the 'App_Code' folders of the root and
the subfolders.

Is there any way to have code just in one folder and invokable from any
other subfolder of a website, so that code is shared?

A related question: when I compile a DLL project in a website solution in
VStudio 2005, what is the equivalent of adding a reference to a DLL (project
or file) in VStudio in the hosting website? Putting it another way, if I
manually deploy a website at a production host, how do I specify the location
of a DLL in client code? I put a DLL in the 'Bin' folder, and placed other
client code in the 'App_Code' folder. How do I specify to the code in the
'App_Code' folder the location of the DLL?

Thanks in advance for answers.

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through
some of the previous questions before posting yours - always a
recommended practice), but this is a classic (COM-based) asp newsgroup.
ASP.Net is a different technology from classic ASP. While you may be
lucky enough to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can answer your
question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to
a newsgroup where the dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

There are also forums at www.asp.net where you can find a lot of people
to help you.
