Can anyone briefly explain how to use the .NET folder type in Reddot, I can't find any documentation.
I'd ideally like to be able to use master pages and user controls outside of Reddot to make development easier, and the .NET folder seems like it might allow me to do it.
Having done some investigation and experimentation with this, it looks like it will deploy the bin folder and any files within that folder, but not subdirectories, when you publish the site. It doesn't seem to do anything with that folder in smartedit mode so .net functionality has to be disabled when editing.
From the Help documentation:
.NET Folder - Select this type if you are using the .NET framework for your project. You can store the necessary configuration files and assemblies in this folder. Only one .NET folder can be created per project. The subfolder bin is automatically created.
And from my brief training back in January, I believe the instructor indicated that assemblies that were placed into the .NET folder could be used in pre-executing code blocks throughout the templates.
