the directory is not allowed because the application is precompiled

[Simon Gare]

Hi,

have only precompiled version of application as original files have been
lost. Trying to alter application in Visual Web Developer but error message
reads

"the directory is not allowed because the application is precompiled"

Can anyone help, thanks in advance.

have you tried creating a new project and importing the old files? That
probably won't work but might be worth trying. If i remember correctly
the precompiled site gets rid of the codebehinds and compiles
everything into the dll's.

if you have an App_Code directory, delete it, because all of the content are
already compiled in the dll's.
