questions about compiling

[Ben]

Hi,

1) i read that the whole application is compiled at the first request of a
page.
Does 'at first request' mean for ever, or there are situations where the
compilation occurs again?
The common sense tells me: when a page is updated, but are there other
situations (e.g IIs stops or no request for a long time or ...

2) i pre-compiled an application with aspnet_compiler for deployment with
option -u (for updatable). Among all the aspx and code-behind files, they
are some inline aspx files with server code in it.
But they are not compiled. Why? Is this the normal situation?

Thanks for explanation
Ben

You can incur startup costs again if the site hasn't received requests in a
specified period of time (machine config) or if the application pool
recycles or if IIS restarts etc etc.

Option 2, not really sure why this is so. I suspect it may be due to the
fact that this is a mix of server and presentation code but don't quote me
on that.
