Hi
Im migrating a winform projecto to a web application project
This winform project has some classes that call some methods of the winform class

In the Web application project, I have to put my classes into app_code folder, but now they cannot instantiate the winform class.

Is possible to call a class that is outside of app_code ?
What could I do?

Thanks

Yes it is possible. You just need to make sure it is public and use the right namespace. Although, the web and windows are so different that you will likely need to redo most of the code.

"have to put my classes into app_code folder, but now they cannot instantiate the winform class."

No, you can't - you cannot use Winforms forms or controls in a web application: if you could, they would display on the Server not the client, which would seem to work in development, but would fail completely when it got to production.

You can migrate the Business logic and it's classes over, and probably the Data logic (with a few changes to connection strings as so forth) but the Presentation layer is a complete re-write: the two systems do not work in the same way at all.

Then you have no choice but to go through it with a fine tooth comb and manually change pretty much everything - you can't just "dump it in app_code" and expect it to work, it won't. And I know of no good converter than can help you.

Sorry if this isn't the news you want, but that's life sometimes, I'm afraid!
