Global Resources from class in App_Code

Question

I've moved one of my classes to the App_Code folder (and namespace) and inside of this class I have a reference to a global resource:

using Res = myProjectName.App_GlobalResources.Validation;

Before I moved this class to the App_Code folder, everything worked alright. Now I get a runtime error stating that:

CS0122: 'myProjectName.App_GlobalResources.Validation' is inaccessible due to
its protection level

If I go into the designer code for the Validation.resx (Validation.designer.cs) and change the internal class Validation to be public (public class Validation) then it works fine.

How come I can't access this as normal from inside the App_Code folder?

Is it because the App_Code and App_GlobalResources content are dynamically compiled, and at runtime, App_Code is compiled first and my Validation Resx hasn't yet compiled?

Thanks for any answers.
