Visual Studio file to Host Server

[dancer]

Using Visual Studio 2003 - Is it possible to just copy the appropriate files
to my remote web host?

Right now, to create an asp.net file (only one file - no code behind), I
code in notepad and save as an .aspx file.

Then, (*don't laugh*) I import the file into my FrontPage web, then publish
normally using FP extensions. Everything works fine that way. I cannot ftp
anything because it will confuse the FP extensions. I have no alternative
at this moment except to stay with FP. But anyway, will my web host
understand if I copy all the files concerned with a VS project into a
folder, and do as above?

If so, how do I know which files to copy?

If you have VS2005 then you can use Dispatch for FTP functions from right
inside VS.

If you are not using "code behind" files then the .aspx files are
stand alone and will work if simply copied to the host. It just means
they have to be parsed from scratch by ASP.NET when servicing page
requests (although with enough traffic caching will help). The only
other files you need to worry about are web.config and any .asax
(application wide event coding) or .ascx files (web user controls) if
they exist as part of your project, otherwise no need.

I guess I did not write clearly. RIGHT NOW I am not using code behind
files, because I am limited to my one file in notepad.
I would like to use code behind and whatever else the Visual Studio 2003
offers.

I cannot use VS 2005 because my host server does not support ASP 2.0 - only
1.1. (can't change hosts - long story) I am asking for using VS 2003.
Also I CANNOT ftp.

Thanks

I don't see the problem. VS2003 will copy the necessary files to your host
using FP extensions.
Just click on Project > Copy Project.
