Newbie - Protecting source code

[Fronky]

If I create an ASP.NET (c#) web application, how can I prevent my code being
ripped off when I load it onto a 3rd party web server? (Someone copying the
..cs files, and removing them)
Is there a way to compile these .cs files for the ASP.NET pages to read.

If you're using VS.NET, compile the project,
and only upload the dll's and .aspx files to your
server or, if you're not using VS.NET, compile
the assemblies ( dlls ) from the command line
and deploy them, with your .aspx files, to the server.

Sorted it! Thanks for your help!

Of course, if the security on the server is such that someone could view the
source code of your ASP.Net pages, you have a more serious problem.

LOL! Absolutely!
