Question

I just publish an asp.net website then i made changes in its source code i added two .aspx files and then publish it again

The question is what I need to make this changes take effect on server. Do I have to replace all files or i can just add specific file?

I’m trying to add two aspx pages to the site that already exist on the server
and want to know which file i have to add beside the ordinary aspx file to take effect on site

Thanks

This depends on how you are deploying your code. Are you using the precompile option before publishing or just publishing with pre-compilation.

If you are just publishing then you can just replace the .aspx and aspx.cs files and the site will dynamically recompile.

If you have pre-compiled it then you are probably only left with .dll files and .aspx files so you would have to deploy a new copy of the .dll file for your site and the .aspx files. MSDeploy replaces the entire site by default.
