Make sure to use a path/directory other than your project path/directory, then just copy the codes you need into your project/website. E.g. if your website path is: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\YourApp, then choose a different path for your generated code, e.g. use C:\GeneratedCode instead.
  
  
• Why do I get an "Access Denied" error?
  This means that you don't have access to the path/directory where you are trying to put the generated code. Make sure to choose a path/directory that you have write access to.
