Architecting for easy Deployment

[Thomas]

Hi,

I there anybody here that are designing applications with asp.net without
html in aspx files?

The problem is that aspx files is a dependency, and I would like to avoid
having that dependency for easy deployment. Ideally - I would like a single
binary or two to contain all resources - graphics etc - is that possible?

In .NET version 2 this will be easy, and likely it will be the default.

Right now it's not easy. Certainly you can embed images and other resources
in your DLL, but the ASPX/HTML part is more difficult. I think you'd have
to generate the HTML at run time using the HTMLTextWriter & such. That
doesn't sound like much fun to me.

In the next version of ASP.NET their will be a way to deploy apps as a
compiled binary. But it still includes blank ASPX as place holders.
Your other options are to create HTTP handlers in the same way .TEXT dose or
rewrite paths.
