Use ASP page from web application in SharePoint

Question

I'm trying to use existing aspx page in SharePoint 2010. Page it self depend on some 3rd party classes and I provided source for them and additional assemblies, and project compiles and deploys to sharepoint correctly.

Page is put in layouts directory. Page definition has also a Page directive:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Frameset.aspx.cs" Inherits="Frameset.Test.Source.Frameset.Frameset_Frameset"  %>

File Frameset.aspx.cs is present and project compiles without error. But when I try to access that page, I'm getting following error:

System.Web.HttpException: The file '/_layouts/Frameset.Test/Frameset/Frameset.aspx.cs' does not exist.   

When I change CodeFile to CodeBehind, I'm getting following error:

System.Web.HttpException: Could not load type 'Frameset.Test.Source.Frameset.Frameset_Frameset'.  

Which is strange, because this type (class) is defined in Frameset.aspx.cs, and VS doesn't complain about missing types.

As far as I know, code-behind usage in SharePoint requires you to specify the full assembly name of the assembly that contains the codebehind class (that is - assuming that your assembly is deployed to the gac). Please see if by using the full name your problem is resolved, ie:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Frameset.aspx.cs" 
   Inherits="Frameset.Test.Source.Frameset.Frameset_Frameset, ........, Version=#.#.#.#, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=##########"  %>
