Hi all,

This is the first time I create web application using VS2005 web site 
project. How can I deploy application to my web server?  With VS2005 web 
application project, I just copy the DLL in bin folder and all the .aspx, 
..ascx to the web server (after I setup the IIS virtual directory). 

Can I copy the .aspx, .ascx (I did not see any DLL in bin folder) the same 
way as web application project?

If I need to update only one page how do I handle it? 

Thanks for any advise.

Hi Madison,

For ASP.NET 2.0 web site application project, it use a new develop & 
compile model. When you develop the web site application in visual studio, 
unlike 1.1 project, it won't generate a precompiled dll. This is because 
ASP.NET 2.0 adopt a complete dynamic compile model, you can directly deploy 
all the source files with aspx pages to the deployment virtual directory 
and ASP.NET runtime can dynamically compile them.  However, for production 
deployment, you're suggested to manually perform a precompilation on your 
ASP.NET 2.0 application before deploy it to production server. VS 2005 
built-in features have a "publish web site" that can help precompile and 
deploy application to target location, you can also use command line 
"aspnet_compiler.exe" to do the precompilation. Also, ASP.NET team provide 
an dedicated "web deployment project" for customized web site application 
precompilation, you can use it to precompile your ASP.NET 2.0 web 
application:
