App_Web dlls 1

[xcaliber2222]

Hello, I've inherited an ASP.NET, 3.5, C# application with what appear to be several precompiled assemblies in the bin folder:

App_Code.compiled
App_Code.dll
App_Web_0-twcwe2.dll
App_Web_2kqew1a-.dll
App_Web_6zcdwfhm.dll
App_Web_blw6-sk7.dll
App_Web_uahiyv8u.dll

I am trying to get under the hood on this and modify the application, but when I go to build the web site I get errors such as:

The type '_Default' exists in both 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\contractsheetweb\eb1ff6ce\647a364d\assembly\dl3\e29fc9e2\008d3e1d_817eca01\App_Web_uahiyv8u.DLL' and 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\contractsheetweb\eb1ff6ce\647a364d\assembly\dl3\76bafea0\0076141f_6480ca01\App_Web_gxn7djph.DLL' c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\contractsheetweb\eb1ff6ce\647a364d\App_Web_gxopkyou.3.cs 106

When I open this it takes me to the auto-generated temp file as listed in the last line above, the first line starting with:

#pragma checksum "C:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot\ContractSheetWeb\Default.aspx"

"{406ea660-64cf-4c82-b6f0-42d48172a799}" "E6DDEFC86A6511229AF1F2CE89592F41"

It looks like all the code behind has been precompiled into these assembles, is this correct? If so, is there any way to decompile these? It seems that I have all the aspx and acsx files but cannot view any code-behind.

ANy help would be greatly apprecated.

Thanks,
Alejandro

Yes, they are the pre-compiled dll's built from your source code. You can decompile them (with Reflector for example) but it won't be pretty and it will be a lot easier if you can locate your original source files from the source control system.
