Replacing old DLL with new DLL
<p>My client lost the source code of their web application and wanted to make few small changes to it. I used RedGate's .Net Reflector to extract the source code from the DLL. Using the class files generated I was able to make changes at the desired place and re-generate the DLL. The application pool used by the application is "default" with version 1.1 and I think the application was also created using .Net framework 1.1, but I used visual studio 2008 to open the project and create the new DLL. also the old DLL had some version number. My question is: since the application is already online, will replacing the new DLL create any problem? Since the time frame given to us to replace the DLL is very small as the application can not stay offline for long, I want to make sure that everything goes fine. Am I following the right way? Or, do I have to create the new DLL using the same framework(1.1)? What else do I need to do to keep the application running smooth without any problem. Kindly excuse me for this lame question but this is the first time I am in this sort of scenario. Thanks.</p>
