So I need some help understanding this.
I had been using VS2005 Beta 2 to work on an internal site. To put a new version up on the web server, I used the Publish feature. Worked great.
A co-worker will be assisting with some of the changes now. Since she doesn't have VS2005, she downloaded VWD. I removed my VS2005 and installed VWD so that I could get a feel for what she'll be using (she's
new to .NET dev; I'm
new to ASP.NET). One of the things missing from VWD is the Publish feature. Doh!
So my question is, how does this work in terms of compiling code? Publish precompiles, checks for errors and then publishes it. Copy Web Site just copies all the files. Are the files that are copied compiled on the first run? I'm a little concerned about having the code pages there (code behinds & classes). Maybe if someone could explain how this works, I'll be able to rest easy.
Thanks!
