code security

[willem joubert]

Hallo,
I need to deploy my 1st web application.
It means that I have to copy my web application on a remote websever for the
deployment.
If my web application is deployed on a remote webserver does it mean that
all the .aspx files will be in the webserver or is it the .dll file that
does the job.
Why I ask is that the whole server company will be able to see my code.
Is my code protected in any way?

the dll should go into the bin folder and the aspx, asmx, and asax
pages should be in the root folder of your web application. Any
adminstrator or anyone with read access to your web root folder can
view the aspx pages and its content. As for readingf the dll's you
would net to decomplie them with a decompiler. My suggestion is to use
the code behind pages, and have little or no code in the aspx pages
themselves. Another thing to note is that IIS by default should not
allow an average wqeb user to view your aspx pages.

The way to do this is one of two ways.

Build a deployment project (you get an MSI that installs your web service).
Test this, and when it works you are done.

The other way is to use the file/publish menu selection and publish your
service to the production server from your development machine.
