Publishing compiled site

[beaniebear]

I have a site that I need to make a change to. The code behind is not deployed to the live site. I have published the development website (using vs2005) and copied the .dll's to the live site. But the changes that I have made on the development site are not on the live site. Can anyone assist and shed light on what I may have done wrong?

Thanks in advance, Jo

It depends on whether you've chosen to create dll's for each page of the site or not. I'd recommend publishing the site locally first, and then copying all of the files over to the live site making sure you remove any files from live that are either not needed anymore or have been modified.

Depending on how vital your site is, you could consider making sure this is done correctly by just deleting the entire set of files on the live site and overwriting them with the files from the locally published folder.

I can't see an option for selecting whether or not to create dll's for each site or not. I've clicked on build/publish website in vs 2005. I have copied over all that had changed today from the bin file. Would there be files anywhere else I need to copy over?
