When precompiling the ASP.NET website, there is an option "Allow this precompiled site to be updatable" in Publish Utility using Visual Web Developer or the –u option while using aspnet_compiler command line. If we enable "Allow this precompiled site to be updatable" option, it doesn’t mean that we can change everything on the precompiled website. Let’s see what the difference is while the "Allow this precompiled site to be updatable" option is enabled or not:
Precompiling without the updatable option checked:
If this option is disabled, the compiler will not only compile source code into assembly, but also produces assemblies from markup of page, resource files, etc. In the output, compiler removes all the source code and markup from page which will leave a placeholder with empty content. To change the website except for its configuration, we need to recompile the website and redeploy the layout.
Precompiling with updatable option checked:
With this option enabled, the compiler will not remove the markup of page and so we can make limited changes, such as change the arrangement of controls, colors, fonts, and other appearance aspects of pages. Additionally, when the page is requested, ASP.NET will perform further compilation in order to create output from the markup.
