Hi, i got problem with compilation. after i build the asp.net web project and got dll files. why i cannot remove the code behind files aspx.vb. after i remove then run the project, it got error state missing that files. So my question is, how to compile the project into dll without needing the code behind files aspx.vb to run the project.

Can you post one of the .ASPX file page directives? (The line that starts like "<% @ Page ...". It is likely that even though your site is compiled, your pages are referencing the codebehind files using the "CodeFile" attribute. This dictates that the ASP.NET runtime should also compiled the file specified as part of the dynamic compile process. Also, please tell us how you created the site, what kind of project is it (Web Site Project or Web Application Project)?

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="WebApplication2._Default" %>

If what you said it true(compiled the file specified as part of the dynamic compile process), then the project must refer to the code behind files every time the project run. My project is web application project. So how to make it so that the project do not have to refer the code behind files but refer to .dll when run the project and can also remove/delete the code behind in root?

That page directive indicates that you shouldn't need the code behind files. "CodeBehind" is an attribute used by visual studio, not the ASP.NET runtime.

Can you post the exact, complete error you are getting?

Not sure what to tell you. The page directive indicates that you shouldn't need the file, but obviously something is trying to load it.
