Hello,

I am currently working on a dotnetnuke project with many ascx files.
Can anyone help me with an advice on how to compile my website faster ?

For example , if I edit the codebehind file in one of my user controls , I rebuild the project in Visual Studio 2008 and then hit the refresh button in my web browser , it takes an average of 40 - 50 seconds to render the page. Is there anyway to recompile only the user control I made the minor changes at and not the whole project ?
I don't even know if this is why it takes so long to re-render the page after rebuild. I am using DotNetNuke v 4.8. My PC is an AMD XP 1800+ CPU with 1.5 GB RAM.
I am grateful for any advice to get a more decent loading time. Thanks !

Thanks for your answer , but I haven't found the tutorial you were talking about. I did come across on some tutorials posted by Michael Washington , but they are about creating modules and using Linq. This does not help me.

I didn't  understand how to use Web Application Project since it is already integrated in VS 2005 SP 1 and it is a standard feature in Visual Studio 2008 which I am using.

Can you please be more specific ? or post a link to the tutorial you are talking about ?

I would have expected something like a setting in web.config or caching , somehow , in order to only compile the codebehind file I modified instead of the whole project all over again.

I know you guys are trying to help , but I tried your suggestions and still no speed improvement.

I mean , in my solution I have 5 projects located each one in a folder in DesktopModules
Each projects consists only of  VB and C# classes and user controls.
There is only  Default.aspx file in the root of my DNN install folder.

Even if I uncheck in Build -> Configuration Manager the other 4 project that I am not currently working on , there is no speed improvement when I reload the page in my browser after some codebehing change in the project I am working at.
It's not Visual Studio that takes a long time to compile , actually it is pretty quick even when building the entire solution with all my 5 projects.

The problem is  when i reload the page in my browser , because it takes about 40-50 seconds to render the page.
I've tried your first suggestion , not to rebuild the project after modifying the code behind file and only to re-open the page in my browser , but doing so , my code does not get updated. I still see the same result that I saw before modifying the code.

If you have any other ideas , I'm glad to hear them. Thanks for your answers !
