With Asp.net web sites and ASMX web services, can some explain what can change once an application has been deployed.
For web sites, I can see that the you can change the aspx files but for web services, I am not sure what can be changed. Any real-world examples of where changing files and dynamic compilation is useful?.

After deploying the application you can change anything you want to in there. You can change .aspx pages, you can add / remove dlls from the bin folder, you can add / remove code files from the app_code folder, you can add remove stuff from the app_data folder, you can obviously add remove the .asmx files for the web service. I don't see any reason why you cant change anything. go ahead and try changing these things. When you run the code after changes the website will compile again automatically. The things i wrote are written considering that you have deployed the whole code for the website and not a published site !
