Does DLL need to be in bin?

[brett]

Do I always need to put an ASP.NET website DLL in the bin folder?
Every I update ASPX and CS files, I have to upload into to different
locations. I'd rather just put them all in one place.

Thanks,

yes.

what is the question?
do you complain that you have to do what you would like to be able to do?

Say that he has a few websites located in different virtual directories, but
share the same codebase. I think he want all these websites fetch the .DLLs
in one single folder so he don't need seperate copies of the binaries.

I think maybe(well it's not tested so it's advised to test it on a testing
machine first) you can create "hard link" with the "fsutil hardlink create"
command on different website's directory to the same location. See if it
works.

For one website, I just want to eliminate the bin folder and be able to
upload everything into the root folder. It sounds as though that is
not possible.

Keep in mind that for ASP.NET 1.1, assemblies can only be located in either
the /bin or the GAC. No other location is supported.
