Adding new pages without recompiling whole site

[Christopher Kimbell]

In ASP.NET, is it possible to add new pages without having to recompile
the whole website?
Can the site span several dlls?

Hi Chris,

From your description, you'd like to use multi-assemblies in a certain
ASP.NET web application so that when you want to add new files, you can add
a new assembly into it rather than recomplied the existing assemlby, yes?
If anything I misunderstand, please feel free to let me know.

As for the assemlbies, of course, we can have multi - assemblies (located
in the private bin folder) for a web application. And Our pages' code
behind classes and be located in different assemblies. And the page find
its codebehind(parent class) via the "Inherits" attribute in the aspx
page's @Page diretive such as:
<%@ Page language="c#" Inherits="AssemblyName.PageClassName" %>

Thus, when we add new pages, we can put those new codebehind classes into a
new assemlbly so that we don't need to modify the old assemlby.
Thanks.

Look at the design of DNN www.dotnetnuke.com

It has a design that allows to do this. It is well documented.
