Question

ASP.NET still run without code files, how?

Answer 1

+1 A:

if the site has been compiled - ie has a bin folder with dlls in it then it doesn't need the code behind files to run. however if you what to change anything you will need them in order to recompile the dlls.

This isn't strictly true. It's possible for a web site project to have a bin folder.

Answer 2

+3 A:

Have you got this by pulling it from the webserver? If so the code behind would be compiled into an assembly in the bin folder (don't forget that .Net 1.1 only had what are now referred to as "Web applications" rather than the "web site" format that was introduced with .Net 2

Answer 3

+1 A:

You don't need source files (.vb or .cs) to run a website - those files get compiled into the .dlls. If you don't have access to the source, you can a) send a pleading message to whomever developed the source originally, b) search through your source control (eg subversion), or c) reverse-engineer the .dlls using something like the .net reflector (http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/index.htm)

I don't get any hits on Google for POMan.Support, so I'm assuming it's a private namespace internal to your project.

yep, POMan.Support is a private namespace. :). Actually, I'm using .NET reflector to discover what behind the .dll file
