When an ASP.NET application is published using the publish option in Visual Studio a series of DLLs are produced in the BIN folder on the web server. What is the difference between the DLLs generated by Visual Studio specifically for ASP.NET and a standard Class Library?

I am wanting to reuse code in classes that are contained in an ASP.NET application.

One option for me is to convert the ASP.NET classes into a class library and hence the reason for this question. The other option is to use a web service to expose the functionality required by other applications.

    There is no difference between DLL’s generated by ASP.NET and a standard class library. Although the web application project produces a DLL, which can’t really be reused (well it could, but it contains the code-behind of your pages and user controls, but not the markup), every other DLL can be reused.

    Using services and implementing Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is another option too, so it really depends on what your requirements are, and what you are trying to reuse.
