asp.net website - Can I tell if it has been precompiled?
<p>I have a slightly odd situation.</p>

<p>One of my customers has an Asp.net (v2 of the framework) site on a dedicated server.</p>

<p>They have asked me to make some changes to the code as their developer has left. Apparently the latest version was on the server.</p>

<p>I downloaded that code, opened it in VS2010, converted it and it was fine. However, when I run the code I get compile time errors from the aspx pages, where they are calling for properties that dont exist in the code. (According to Find In Files, whole soluton, <em>.</em>)</p>

<p>So I did some digging. In the Bin file there is an assembly for the website. On the server this is over 300k. On my machine this is 180k. </p>

<p>I accept that this might simply be that the later compilers pack code better, but I'd be suprised if this shows as a 120k improvement. </p>

<p>So the only thing I can think of is that at some point he has made some changes and compiled the website, but didnt remove all the old .cs files first.</p>

<p>Is this possible, or can anyone suggest a different reason for me seeing the behaviour I am witnessing?</p>

<p>[Edit]</p>

<p>Ok, It isn't precompiled, so Im really struggling to understand whats going on now.</p>

<ul>
<li>I have all the code from the website.</li>
<li>On the Server the code works.</li>
</ul>

<p>However, as I have had my original question answered I'll close this, and no doubt come back tomorrow when I have dug a little deeper.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
