Can the App_Code folder contain source code files in different programming languages?
No, the App_Code folder in an ASP.NET application is intended to contain source code files for a single programming language. It is not designed to support multiple programming languages within the same folder.
The purpose of the App_Code folder is to provide a central location to store and organize code files that are automatically compiled at runtime. Code files placed in the App_Code folder are treated as application-level code and are accessible throughout the application.
When you add code files to the App_Code folder, the .NET compiler automatically compiles them into a dynamically generated assembly. This assembly is then used by the application to execute the code.
The code files within the App_Code folder are subject to a specific programming language, determined by the language used for the rest of the application. For example, if your application is primarily written in C#, the App_Code folder should contain C# code files. Similarly, if your application is primarily written in VB.NET, the App_Code folder should contain VB.NET code files.
If you need to include code files in different programming languages, you can create separate folders for each language within the application structure and place the corresponding code files in their respective folders. This approach allows you to organize and maintain code files written in different languages while ensuring proper compilation and execution within the application.
