Kentico imports custom namespace, can't identify the assembly

Question

Looking at a Kentico 7 custom module (ascx) that references a namespace (e.g.:

<%@ Import Namespace="MyCustom.Things" %>

I looked in the \bin directory for the site itself and can't find any reference to MyCustom.Things. I tried ildasm and ndepend, but neither were able to find the source of that namespace. I'm not sure the source is even available anymore, but I'm trying to at least find the imported dll.

Any ideas?

Update: Solved - it was in a .cs file in the /app_code directory of the web application.

I would also check your [Temporary ASP.NET Files](http://stackoverflow.com/a/450912/2344773). — Jerreck, Feb 23 '16 at 18:47
Use textual search in totalcmd for instance... Look through your App_Code as well... — rocky, Feb 23 '16 at 19:23

Have you searched across all dll's? The namespace may not necessarily match the assembly name. But from how it's imported I'd assume it's in the same assembly of the ascx you're referring to.

It may well be a namespace created in any .cs file that is compiled with the custom module.

Use textual search in totalcmd for instance... Look through your App_Code as well..

Note: /App_Code is found in the root of your Kentico instance in IIS.
