Remove PrecompiledApp.config
The Sitecore 5.2.0.1 package contains a file called PrecompiledApp.config, located in the root-folder. Because of this little nasty bugger, you receive this Server Error if you try to add your own class to the solution:
Server Error in '/' Application.
The directory '/App_Code/' is not allowed because the application is precompiled.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

I tried all sorts of things to fix it, but ended up contacting Runi from Sitecore. He replied that I should hust remove the PrecompiledApp.config file - and voila! it worked...

You can even precompile/publish the entire site if you also remove unhandledexception.aspx - this however leads to a number of small glitches connected with asp.net 2.0 precompilation.
In place compilation seems to work ok though, this is how I develop a 5.2.0.1 site at the moment. This is still an early beta
