newbie question about compiled code--files needed

[Steve C. Orr, MCSD]

If you use the Copy Project menu item in VS.NET you can copy only the files
needed to run your app.

In addition, you can obfuscate your assemblies so they cannot be easily
decompiled.
Visual Studio 2003 has a basic built in obfuscator.
Here's more information on obfuscators:

All you need is the aspx and the associated dll. You dont
need to include the source file

Great... That is what I needed to know..

So I don't really include the code behind file... i.e
mypage.aspx.vb --don't include it--just put the dll in the right
directory....

Thanks a bunch Rory.

Lot to learn in .NET--even for us VB/ASP veterans.
