Hi all,

Here is my situation. 

I have a huge ASP.NET 1.1 projects, and i only need to make changes to 1 or 2 pages.  The changes on the front/presentation pages are fine, because it doesn't need to recompile the project.  The changes on the back end pages (.cs, .vb, etc...) are giving me problem, since I need to recompile it to see the changes.

Moreover, the project is lying on the server.  There are no safesource.  Therefore, I have to copy the project down to my local PC, or re-create (1 by 1) the whole project on my local PC.  As i mention, it is huge project, and doing this way is an extremely waste of times and efforts.

Is there a way i can make the changes on the server, and recompile it without re-create everything on my local PC?  I searched and got some command lines, but it wasn't too helpful.

I am using VS2003 btw.

Any helps will be heavenly

Wherever you do the recompile will have to have a compiler. I would suggest that this will be unlikely on a production site. I think despite the fact that it will take a while, I would strongly advise taking a copy of your live system and bringing it back down so that you can back it up and apply source control properly. On a decent internet connection you should be able to get it in a reasonable length of time, even if you have to leave it over night or something.

Thanks Melvyn,

I re-create the project, by create a new project, and new folders, new pages, 1 by 1.

Whenever I copy it down, I can't open it because of the path.  I will do more research on this...

For the unfortunate who have to use asp.net 1.x with no sourcesafe.  I got the solution for the above problem:

1)  Create a new project with the same name

2)  Now, copy the existence project's codes/folders onto the newly created project

That's it !!!
