Niek909 Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 I want to create a standard software application. The software can be installed on servers of any company that wants to use the software. I don't want those companies to be able to see my source code. It would be nice if the software can run in a browser, without any executable on the client side. Is it possible to use ASP.net or VB.net in this way? Quote

Niek909 Posted October 31, 2003 Author Posted October 31, 2003 As far as I have read about ASP.net, is that ASP.net code is not compiled into DLL's, so the server administrator can see my code. Should I use VB.net to create compiled objects and call them in my aspx pages? Quote
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted October 31, 2003 Administrators Posted October 31, 2003 ASP.Net code does get compiled to MSIL which is compiled to actual machine code the first time the page is accessed. The raw source code does not need to be deployed to the server. Quote Posting Guidelines FAQ Post Formatting Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. -- Albert Einstein
Moderators Robby Posted October 31, 2003 Moderators Posted October 31, 2003 If you leave your server-side code in-line (at the top of your aspx page) then of course people will see it, the recommended method is to use Code-behind and as PlausiblyDamp pointed out "the code DOES get complied". So the only things you need to copy(deploy) onto the server are these files: aspx web.config BIN folder with the DLL files therein CSS (optional) Quote Visit...Bassic Software
