Calling methods in App_Code from an ASP.NET Custom Control
I am using VS2008 and have a solution file which contains 1 Website and 1 Class Library Project.
The Class Library is a Custom Control which derives from Label
. The Website contains a reference to the control - it builds successfully and the compiled .dll gets added to the Website's /bin
folder. I can then use it in any of the website's .aspx pages without error.
What I cannot do, however, is reference any of the Website's data access methods that are in static classes in /App_Code
from within the custom control.
I don't want to repeat the website data access logic all over again within the custom control when I know it will already exist in the website - I just want to be able to call a method from a class in /App_Code
. If I try and reference anything in /App_Code
from within the Class Library, it fails to build and says it can't find the Namespace or that it doesn't exist in the current context.
How can I achieve this so that the Custom Control builds as a standalone control, but can make use of classes in the website it gets used in? Delegates, possibly? Was hoping it might be more straightforward than that.
EDIT: I should add that the reason the control is in a separate Class Library is so that I can include JavaScript as an embedded resource within the Control. So when it's used in a .aspx page, it adds a Web开发者_如何学PythonResource.axd?
style link to the page instead of a load of plaintext JavaScript in the <head>
section.
EDIT 2: In the website App_Code folder, I have a static class that handles data access (snippet):
[DataObject]
public static class DBAccess
{
[DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Select)]
public static DataTable GetSomeData(Int32 SomeParam, DateTime OtherParam)
{
SqlConnection cn = SqlLibrary.GetConnection(DBConnectionString);
DataTable _dt;
SqlLibrary.SProcFill(out _dt, cn, "usp_SomeData_Select", SomeParam, OtherParam);
return _dt;
}
}
In the Class Library's custom control (which I want to build independently of the website's existence, yet be capable of calling its methods when used as a control in an .aspx page):
namespace MyCustomControls
{
public class StatusControl : Label
{
private Int32 _someProperty = -1;
private DateTime _otherProperty = DateTime.Now;
public StatusControl()
{
//some constructor logic
}
public void FetchData()
{
//what I'd **like** to do here is:
DBAccess.GetSomeData(_someProperty, _otherProperty);
//...but DBAccess isn't "visible" to this control at build time
}
}
}
