In Windows Forms I can create a class file called 'Authentication.cs' with the following code:
public class Authentication
{
public string Name;
internal bool Authenticate()
{
bool i = false;
if (Name == "Jason")
{
i = true;
}
return i;
}
}
In WebMatrix, I can insert a new Class file, called 'Authentication.cs', and insert the above code.
And in my default.cshtml file, I do this:
<body>
@{
Authentication auth = new Authentication();
if(auth.Authenticated("jasonp"))
{
<p>@auth.Authenticated("jasonp");</p>
}
}
</body>
But it won't work! It works for the WinForms desktop app, but not in WebMatrix. I don't know why it's not working. The error message is:
"The namespace Authenticate does not exist. Are you sure you have referenced assemblies etc?"
So, then at the top of my default.cshtml file I tried this:
@using Authentication.cs;
Which led to the exact same error!
There's no documentation that I can find anywhere that tells you how to "include" a class file into your WebMatrix pages.
Any help is appreciated,
Thank you!
You import a namespace, not a file. So; what namespace is Authentication in? For example:
@using My.Utils.Authentication.cs;
Also - you want to drop the ; in the razor call:
<p>@auth.Authenticated("jasonp")</p>
You can also provide the fully qualified name in the code:
@{
var auth = new My.Utils.Authentication();
if(auth.Authenticated("jasonp"))
{
<p>@auth.Authenticated("jasonp")</p>
}
}
(aside: are you intentionally calling the same method twice with the same values?)
