from staging to production

[rom]

what do i have to more from staging to production every
time i make changes? all the files only? what about the
dll in the bin directory? if i copy the dll file do i also
have to copy the aspx and aspx.vb files?

If the change is just in an aspx (or ascx, or config file)
then you can copy just that file.
If the change is in code(-behind) then you need to copy
the compiled dll. You do *not* need to copy .vb (or .cs) files.

If you're using Visual Studio.NET, you can use the Project->Copy Project
command, which has an option to only copy the files needed for the
application. I often use this command to copy to a dummy location, then
deploy the files from the dummy location to the staging or production
server.
