How to distribute ASP web application to the clients"

[surechan]

Hi,

I would like to know how to distribute ASP web application to the clients. The ASP source code should not be given to the client side installation.

Is there any way like we can put all the files in an ActiveX dll so nobody can see the source code, Use ActiveX dll to access all the ASP files.

Please provide me all the nformation thats related to this.

Thanks in advance

Sure

Correct me if I'm wrong (or if I misunderstood), but ASP doesn't need any client installation. It only needs a webserver to run at (like IIS), and for the clients a browser. The ASP code will never ship to the client, because it is executed on the server, and gives only back what you tell it to give back (HTML, XML, TEXT,...) When using ActiveX controls on a page, the code won't ship either, the browser will pick up the ActiveX from the server and use it (of course, if all security measures are passed).

Many Thanks Cakkie!

I am not hosting the ASP application, I develope ASP application and package it and deliver that to different clients which will run in client side IIS server. So I will be not be running that ASP application in my IIS server, it will be hosted in client side IIS server. Where as I don't want the client to get access to the ASP code though the ASP application is running in their IIS server.

I heard that we can put all the ASP pages in a VB dll and deliver to the client, so the client can host their ASP application by using this VB dll. So I would like to have more details on how to make the VB Dll from the ASP pages?

Thanks,
Sure
