source code issue

[BAE]

What do I have to compile to allow others to make changes to a web form that is on a server? If something should happen to me(I quit or get fired) the business wants to be able to make changes to the web form if needed.
Thanks for any help

Tell them to hire a backup for you.

And make sure that you put your source code in a proper repository like VSS or at a place which is being backed up regularly.

They'll need to re-deploy again, they can't edit directly and expect it to always work.

I'm new at this, especially web forms. Could you be a little more specific? Thanks

VSS is a source control software. You can add your ASP.NET project in it and VSS maintains a 'lock' on files. In other words, it won't let you edit it unless you check the file out.

It therefore also serves as a repository for your files, like a file storage. Once you deploy the application and say, 8 months later they wish to make a change, they can check out the files from the project there, edit it, recompile the ASP.NET application and re-deploy to the server.
