Are satellite assemblies only for ressource ?

[Olivier Matrot]

I would like to broke up an ASP.NET project in several assemblies. The goal
is to link aspx files with a specific assembly. This way you could put
functionnality in various DLL and choose to distribute or not the peaces of
a web site.
TIA.

You could use the command line compiler to build several DLLs for your site.

VS.NET 2005 should allow this scenario as the build engine will be fully
exposed...

This is good news.
However, did you already do this ? Is there a tutorial out there ?

Try
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ry/en-us/cscomp/html/vcrefCompilerOptions.asp
or
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...blr7/html/vaoriVisualBasicCompilerOptions.asp

Basically :
- use /recurse to be able to compile all the source files that are in a
subtree
- use /r to reference the common librairies you may have accross all your
site part

You'll have a command file that calls this multiple times to produce a
single dLL for each subpart (and suppress the single DLL if doing this on
the developer machine, here we are using VS.NET on dev workstations and we
build the DLLs on our dev server).
