Hi Chaz,
Let's deal with the error first.
One possible cause is you didn't have VJ# redist package installed. The
type "Microsoft.VJSharp.VJSharpCodeProvider" should be located at
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\VJShar pCodeProvider.DLL; also
there should have a subfolder named "Microsoft Visual J# 2.0
Redistributable Package."
Do you have installed both 32-bit and 64-bit CLR? Make sure the version
you're using have installed VJ# redist package correctly.
By design, aspnet_compiler.exe will try to load all CodeProvider specified
in machine.config (or machine.config.comments). If the webform is compiled
on the first time, only the specified code provider will be used. I think
this answers your first question Q1.
======
By default, each public resource of an ASP.NET site is compiled on the fly
only upon its first request. This introduces a first-hit delay as a result
of the compilation process. Site precompilation brings a double benefit: no
delay for requests because of compilation and no need of deploying source
code to the Web server. Precompilation comes in two forms, each targeting a
specific scenario: in-place and deploy precompilation. The former prepares
all the resources in a site to be served without delay. It generates all
needed dynamic assemblies for all pages and resources that need be
compiled. In-place precompilation occurs on an already deployed
application. It generates a site layout made only of assemblies that can be
packaged and deployed to a production machine. This form of precompilation
occurs on a development machine and is suited for out-of-box sites that,
like classic Windows executable files, are not subject to dynamic changes.
In-place precompilation is merely a form of performance improvement.
Precompilation ensures that each page is accessed and each required dynamic
assembly is created.
In-place precompilation is analogous to manually requesting all the pages
on the site to make sure all the code is compiled.
