I have a question regarding ASP.NET:
In the case of PHP when placing an application on the server means putting the application's source code. In the case of ASP.NET, (specifically C # with pages in .aspx), is there any way to use it without exposing the source code?
If the application is only in C # it is possible to generate the executable, but in the case of ASP.NET, is it possible to separate the application running (on the client, suppose) from the source code?
To host an ASP.NET application you must publish it first. During publishing the source code is compiled and the .cs files transformed into DLL's . Therefore, the source code is not exposed as in PHP.
Take a look at how to do a post here .
Is your source code in a separate .cs (Code behind) file or is it embedded in Aspx? In any case, as already mentioned, VisualStudio generates a DLL per page .aspx, with its source code supposed to be secure.
I say supposedly because it is possible to decompile the bytecode of the DLL to generate source code in C #, VB.Net etc.
If you need an extra level of security, look for .Net dll scrambling solutions
