using DLL's on a page

[IxiRancid]

Can someone please guide me to a link or an article describing how to make and use a DLL on a webpage.

I wouldn't like to show the code when the webproject is sold (and deployed on the client's server), or perhaps there's another way to hide my code from the local IT dept.?

I'd put as much code in the 'Code Behind' as possible and only put completely necessary code in the aspx/ascx pages.

Just implement the IHttpHandler interface.

Compile the .ashx into a DLL. Users can then reference that in their web project and use it in their website by adding a <httpHandlers> block to their web.config file.

Depends on what you mean by

make and use a DLL on a webpage

if you just want a re-usable library of functions that can be called from a webpage then you can create the DLL as a ClassLibrary and simply reference it from your web application.

If you mean something else then could you give a little more detail...

The post from Mister E helped me, that's what I need.

Basically just to hide the codebehind, so they won't reuse my lines :)

If you are deploying a web application you don't need to deploy any of the code-behind files anyway, the code is compiled into the \bin\whatever.dll.
