publish website + VS2008

Question

I created a website using VB.NET on VS2008. When i finished working on it I published it and then deployed it on the production server.
The problem is that when I change any code in the website I need to republish it again and deploy all the items again from scratch.
Is there any other faster way to deploy only a single page or single user control.

I know that if I created a webapplication then all the code will be generated into one single dll, but I have a website.

Answer 1

In the publish Properties, check "Use fixed naming and single page assemblies".

This would let you update only the one single changed DLL file of the page/control you have updated.
