HOWTO? Complete Web application as a dll

[Matthew Speed]

I have a VB.Net web application that in the website directory consists
of but a single .aspx file with its matching .aspx.vb file and a dll.
The idea of having a single web page with all content stored in a dll
is appealing to me but I can't seem to find a reference on how to do
this. Can anyone either point me to an online tutorial or recommend a
book on this?

BTW...this app is a commercial application that comes with an install
program. I don't know if it install "stuff" into the OS to make the
website know how to reference the dll. All I know is that the website
consists of those three files.

TIA

Matthew,

You cannot do it without a aspx file however the .vb file is not needed in
your directory.

You can of course make one single webpage with a lot of pannels, that you
hide and make visible, however do not forget that you send all those panels
to the client than in your aspx page or you can create dynamicly all
controls on your page (on a panel by the way to do that easy).

However there has to be AFAIK at least one aspx page, where the user can
reference too in his browser.

I hope this helps,

Cor

I guess I wasn't clear about what I wanted but discovered this morning
that what I want to do can be done by just creating a .vb file as a
namespace and do everything through subs in a separate class.

Thanks for trying, even though I didn't even ask the right question.
