There are a few options with ASP.NET precompilation that may allow you to update the site, but it will be difficult to change any of the C# with a precompiled version. If the site was precompiled with the "Updateable" flag set to true, you can update .aspx (Web Forms) and .ascx (User Control) files. You don't need to do a full build for these updates to show on your site, just Save them and view in browser. If updateable was NOT set to true, these files will have all also been compiled into DLLs and there isn't much you can do. If you just need to look at the code and not up

Jun 27, 2006 01:12 PM|VirtueTech|LINK Hello everyone, I followed ScottGu's blog on using "Web Deployment Projects" to deploy my web application from this URL: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/11/06/429723.aspx I followed http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17220575/how-do-you-compile-the-precompiled-in-asp-net the instructions and everything worked fine. - The Web application builds - The web deployment project precompiled the web application - The Web Setup project created the MSI file for installation on the server Now though I cannot make any changes to my Web Application because I keep getting the following error when I hit "Build Website": "This application is already precompiled" And the most obvious was http://forums.asp.net/t/1003319.aspx?This+application+is+already+precompiled+Help+ making sure in the "web Deployment project" that I checked the box to allow the web site to be upgradeable after precompiling, but it doesn't make a difference. Can someone please help me so that I can update my site? Thanks. -- Jim - Jim Reply blomm None 0 Points 1 Post Re: This application is already precompiled - Help?

Look in your project in visual studio and see if there is a ' PrecompiledApp.config ' file. Delete this file and you should be able to make changes and recompile your application. - Johnathon Sprouse, MCTS Reply mikbyrne None 0 Points 13 Posts Re: This application is already precompiled - Help?
