ASP compiled

[Ed]

I want to pay a monthly fee to a hosting company to host my ASP application.
I have some propriety designs in my ASP application which I'm reluctant to
expose the source code. Unfortunately, with ASP, it's all source code.

Is there a way to "compile" my ASP application so that when I upload the
application to the hosting company, my propriety work will remain
unrevealed?

Second question, if I update my ASP applcation to ASP.NET, would there be a
way to compile the ASP.NET code so that I will only need to publish the
"compiled" version to the hosting company server (thereby protecting my
source code from being revealed)?

Thanks.

Yes, you can put your important business logic in a DLL, though keep in mind
that there is likely to be a performance hit.

You will get better answers about how to protect ASP.NET code in an ASP.NET
forum.

An idea you could use that would make the source code much more
unreadable would be to use some kind of code optimizer on it that
removes comments and removes much white space such as tabs...

PCbit

Advanced HTML Optimizer
Can remove white space in HTML and ASP files.
