I built my web application using asp.net mvc3. I need to add admin pages to monitor and manage all user accounts and their posts.
Right now, admin and regular web site are sitting in the same web application. if I only made a small change for the admin pages, i still need to compile everything. is it a way separate them, so I only need to upload admin without touching the web site. the only solution I can think of is to create another web app. is there another way to do it?
You can separate your mvc application into Areas

Areas help you better organize your application it won’t let deploy just that area, but VS2010 does have some good deployment features. Her’s a good article
