file compression

[cmsbuffet]

I would like to save an ASP file and send it to my boss. He doesn't have the Visual Studio. How do I compress the file, so that it will small enough for me to send it the boss of mine?

This is not an ASP.NET question.

An asp file or asp.net file are just text files and are not that big. If you want to compress it, just use windows build in file compression. Or you can use winzip or winrar.

I have a Default.aspx file. What do I have to do with it?

It is also connected to a database. How do I create a file, which my boss can open and see the HTML and the SQL coding? and display results in the browser?

1. a database engine
2. the database schema
3. sample data
4. either IIS or (Apache with Mono)
5. the compiled binaries required to run the website (.net framework + the binaries from the aspx page(s)).

you're better off having a demo server where your boss can access the website (just like accessing the production environment).

Can I create all the files locally? And then send all the files, which could be recreated locally again, but this time on my boss's computer? Can I do it without running on a server?

you can, but you still need to install the infrastructure to run the website on his local computer
db server
IIS
etc.

asp.net is a compiled server language.
webforms is a html rendering engine.
they require supporting infrastructure. it's no different than requiring the .net framwork on a give box to run a .net compiled executable.
