Anyone know if you are required to upload the aspx.vb files to the web server when you upload your page, or if there's a way around that? I know it compiles them into a dll or something when you compile the project so is there a way to not have them on the server and the pages still work like normal?

Hi there,

In VS.NET, there is a button called Copy Project in the Solution Explorer. Click your project first to enable this button.

When you click it, you get the option to copy your project from your development server to the production server. One of the options is to only copy the required files. When you select that option, all .aspx, .dll and other required files (xml, images etc etc) are copied, but not the .vb, .cs, .resx etc files.

If you manually do the copy, or use an external FTP program, I don't think there is a quick way to do this, other than create a complete copy of your site, delete the stuff you don't need and then copy what's left to your production server.

Cheers,

Imar
