Protecting Code Behind Pages

[Oisin Grehan]

Yep, just deploy the aspx, ascx and config files to the application root and
put the compiled dll into the bin/ directory. That's all ASP.NET needs to
run, you need not deploy the .cs files. If you click the "copy web" icon at
the top of your solution explorer, the default options are set up to do
this. "only copy files needed to run this application". It will not copy any
..cs source files or any csproj project files. If you have info in .xml files
you'd rather not be leaving out in the open, you can use the properties
window to change their build actions to "embedded resource". MSDN for info.

Hope this helps,

- Oisin

Compile the CodeBehind classes into DLL(s). Then just deploy the DLL(s) and
Page templates, and not the CodeBehind files.

Apparently I have a lot to learn. Do you mean to say that all of the code I
use to retrieve and set values in my web controls and respond to post-back
events can all be compiled into dll's to the extent that I don't need to
deploy any .vb code pages to the web site? How do I do this?

Do you have Visual Studio.Net? If so, you can do it from there. Otherwise,
there are a number of command-line utilities that come with the .Net
platform. Do you want to know how to do it from a Command-Line console?
