Question

I have a question about hiding or encoding the source code on a server which runs IIS.

At the moment the source code is available and visible for all users who are logged into the server where the IIS Server is running.

Is there a way to hide the Code (encode) with Visual Studio or any other software?

I think the aspx (or *.html) web site code can not be encoded but (for example) the *.vb code sites should be able to encode.

Answer 1

You can simply Publish the website

Build Menu => Publish Web Site

So the code behind files (*.aspx.cs) will get converted to dll(Bin/*.dll) file.
