I don't understand how the Build works with visual web development. With VS2003, the Build generates a DLL, which I understood to be the actual object code that ASP uses to process requests. I do my work and testing on my laptop then upload the finished DLL to my website. Now, with VWD 2008 I don't see any DLL and from what I am reading there isn't any. So how does this work? Is the source code interpeted real time or is these some kind of pre-compiled code sitting someplace out of sight? My goal is to use VWD 2008 as my new development platform, but if testing and uploading are a pain I will skip over to VS2008. Thanks for your help, Bob
I did further research and came upon a site that supports .Net Framework SDK 2.0 and the various ASP.NET Compilaiton models. I prefer the precompile model, but since this feature is not automated on VWD 2008 Express I will need to use the utility aspnet_compiler.exe. I will slug though this for a while and see if I can get it to work.
