a DLL is an assembly consisting of all you .cs files.
These sit in a semi-compiled state so your site runs quicker.
It also saves you the hassle of having all your source code up on the live
server.
All you should need (if compiled propertly - like Vis Studio's default) is
the assembly and your aspx files (ofcourse htm's, .configs etc)
So basicly, its all your .cs files compiled into a single file.
Makes deployment a helluva lot easier.
But beware, loading this file up, will have a dramatic efffect on the site,
it will have to load this into memory, and sessions may be lost.
Also, the next time your try view a page on your site, it will take a bit
longer to load as this will be loading up the new assembly. - but only for
the first page

Hi
This might seem like a wierd question, but I'm going to ask it anyway!
When I build my ASP.NET apps, a DLL is created in the bin folder for
the application. What exactly is in this DLL and what does it do?
Thanks,
Kulgan.
