rebuilding asp.net project

[rom]

Hi,

when I update an aspx codebehind page (vb.net) I have to
rebuild the page. After doing that - what do I have to
upload to the server? only the dll file, or the vb.net
pages also? what about the asp.net pages? And another
question - what happen if I'm trying to upload the updated
dll to the server while people are working on the
application? do I have to stop the IIS in order to do that?

Thanks!

Hi,

I didn't really mean what do you really mean by vb.net pages & asp.net pages
!!

VB .NET is a language for the .NET platform and ASP .NET is the web
technology used in .NET. As far as your question go, you need to upload the
modified .dll only if you didn't make any changes in the content pages
(.aspx).

No, you don't have to stop & start IIS after uploading your modified .dlls
because ASP .NET looks for file change notification automatically. So as
soon it notifies of a file change request, if it donot have any pending
request, creates a new appdomain, loads the new files into it, and start
serving new requests from there. The old appdomain is killed as soon as it
finishes serving pending requets.

HTH

Unless you have made changed to the aspx page you don't need to copy it.
Just copying
the dll will do.

If you change anything in the bin folder for your application, your
application will reset. Thus you
do not have to stop IIS.
