App_Code folder not recognized in "WebSite" project

I built a Web Site project (not Web Application) in Visual Studio 2017. I have a couple of generic classes in App_Code folder which are required in many Code Behind pages. It works perfectly in my local environment. But, when I upload them to the server, I get following compilation error.

CS0246: The type or namespace name 'UserInfo' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I created the App_Code folder by right clicking on the project; and even those classes were created there (not copied from anywhere outside).

Now, when I look at the solutions here, people are often mistaken Web Site with Web Application. In Website you cannot change the "build" to Compile; you don't even see the "build" option under class properties menu. OR my Visual Studio hiding that option from me?

Can anyone help me out please?

How are you uploading to server? Simply XCopy or Publish? Try publishing. It should solve the issue.
