Class Code12

Namespace
Custom.Hybrid
Assembly
ToSic.Sxc.dll

This is the base class for custom code (.cs) files in your Apps. By inheriting from this base class, you will automatically have the context like the App object etc. available.

Tip

This is an old base class and works, but you should use a newer one such as CodeTyped
