Compliling ASP project into executable

[David Lozzi]

Hello all,

I am deploying many ASP apps and many of them are onto client internal
servers. I was wondering if there was an option to compile my entire ASP
project into an installation executable for easy deployment?

Thanks,
David Lozzi

Re: Compliling ASP project into executable

David,

I believe ASPs are compiled and cached by IIS.

Why do you wish to compile ASPs? Do you have a performance problem?

usually this is so people can make it portable or distributable.

Re: Compliling ASP project into executable

Yes, exactly. The Octopod thing that I linked to has gotten rave reviews,
although I confess I have never used it. But it's perfect for, for example,
putting a project into a CD.

Re: Compliling ASP project into executable

I've heard it get decent reviews but to be honest, it's the only product of
it's type I know of.
While I guess it is a great idea I've never seen a valid use for it
personally..... .

Re: Compliling ASP project into executable

I could see it being useful for school yearbooks, among other things.

Re: Compliling ASP project into executable

But isn't ASP the wrong technology then?
I mean if you need to build an app that isnt server based why woul you use
server based technology? There are many other alternatives that would
probably be better in the end....

Re: Compliling ASP project into executable

Ok, let's say you have been approached to make a school yearbook, or a
church directory, or some such thing, that has the following requirements:
1. Has to contain a database
2. Has to have the ability to show pictures
3. Has to be portable (run off of CD)
4. Has to work on older versions of Windows

What else would you use?

Re: Compliling ASP project into executable

Most likely VB6, or C++
Something that's designed as an executable, not designed as a server app and
"converted" to an exe.
Hey, if someone wants to go that route more power to em, it's just me
personally that thinks it's a workaround that shouldn't have happened to
start with.
The only use I could think of would be to send a "demo" of a site you are
working on for an off-line eval.

Re: Compliling ASP project into executable

You are right, using a language meant for executables is going to be best.
But for people like me not willing to learn a new language, Octopod works.
Not that I've tried it. But if someone wants to pay me to make a directory,
then I guess that would be something I'd consider

Re: Compliling ASP project into executable

Ahhh.... but there in lies the key....
"...But for people like me not willing to learn a new language.."
As long as a person is willing to admit they aren't using it or doing it
that way becuase they honestly think it's the right way to do it...
I'll admit I use many "shortcuts" which aren't necessarily the right way,
but they work for me. I just don't try to pass them off to others as an
appropriate way to do something :}

Re: Compliling ASP project into executable

(1) I freely admit that I have put a stop to trying to learn everything new.
I have a life to live, and if I learned new languages, I'd do it at the
expense of my roles as a father and husband, among other things. I ahve
great admiration for those willing to pick up new stuff. But I choose not
to.

(2) I didn't pass it off as the appropriate thing for the OP. He asked for
something that would allow him to compile an ASP project. He had already
decided that was what he wanted. I simply told him where he could find it.
