I assume you have tried the entire path like c:\inetpub\wwwroot\....

Put both src and codebehind attributes in the page header with the same information.

Make sure the codebehind file is compiled (manual compilation) before you try to open the aspx page. This must happen before VS can open the aspx page since it references a class. The class must exist first. VS.NET compiles this page first behind the scenes for us but in your case you need to manually do this.

When I changed the codebehind directive to ..\codebehind file name. No luck. I then moved the CB file back to the original directory and the directive to having no path, VS.Net still would not find it. The only way to find it again was to add it to the project again in the original directory. Is there something internal the VS.Net does to tie ASPX to CB files together?
