Deploy an asp.net application without compiling a DLL

Question

When I publish any asp.net application, my code is precompiled into various assemblies. I would like to avoid this so that I can load the aspx page and the corresponding codebehind file. I understand the benefits of this anyway, but what I want here is the least risky way to post changes.

How to properly deploy an asp.net project without compiling assemblies?

Is the process different for each model (web application, MVC ..)

Answer 1

It looks like you have a web application project and you need a website project. With web projects you can change aspx and codebehind files and not worry about recompiling them, asp.net will do it for you. Web application projects must be compiled for every code change.
