ASP.NET dynamic compilation?

[Sir Psycho]

Hi,

Does ASP.NET have the same feature of PHP as in can I reupload an ASPX
file and it becomes 'live' with all the new changes?

Do I also need to reupload the site DLL each time I make a code change?

Yes, depending on how you publish.

No, if you use the model that I said YES on earlier

Yes and no
You can reupload up to 15 times aspx page (configurable) then application
restarts (meaning you will loose all Sessions)
I believe if you reupload CS or VB files application restarts immediately.

So do all your coding in ASPX file.

Hi,
how do you deploy your web application? Are you using simple XCopy or
precompilation? If you are using XCopy you can do any change to as*x files
and corresponding code behind files and just upload them to server.
Precompilation allows you to compile whole application to dlls so if you want
to make any change you have to precompile and deploy whole application again.
There is also mixed mode where code is precompiled and as*x files are still
updatable - you can control this by parameter for aspnet precompiler or by
check box in Visual Studio publish web application functionality.

I guess I'd like to upload bug fixes to my site without kicking
everyone off their sessions which is something php allows you to do.

Isnt doing all coding in ASPX really bad? I thought having code behind
in separate files helps with separation

can someone also give me a resource on how to configure visual studio/
IIS to allow me to upload changes without restarting the web app

thank you

Take a look at DotNetNuke You can use it or use same idea.
It's a content management system when content is in DB. Then application
will not restart.
