Xrm.cs not working in Visual Studio 2013 aspx project

Hello,

I have been using a crmcvutil-generated Xrm.cs file succesfully for a lot of import jobs and taking advantage of the early-binding as a result.

I am now creating a web site project (aspx page with code behind) but when I add an existing item and bring the Xrm.cs file into the project I can't reference any crm entities by entity name - instead I have to use the late-bound syntax e.g. Entity contact = new Entity() - and then assigning the logical name - instead of what I would expect to be able to use - " Contact contact = new Contact();" thanks to the inclusion of the Xrm.cs file (which looks normal/ fine).

It is as if my project is just taking no notice of the existence of the Xrm.cs file.

Any help would be gratefully received. Is it something to do with a namespace, the VS version, or the fact that this is an aspx project unlike the others where this was working fine?

Thanks.

Sorry - a basic error on my behalf. I had it placed outside the app_code folder - when I placed it inside this folder it was fine.

Thanks - yes of course it could be something quite basic but the class does exist - it is the same cs file that is working fine in other projects.

basic check: have you checked the namespaces ? Is the Contact class exist in the Xrm.cs you have placed ?
