Hi,
I really want to know if there is any way to prevent someone else from seeing your HTML/ASP code by viewing source or saving page and then checking it out in an Editor?
Also, is there any way to convert a site of all ASP coded files into a .exe application?
Similarly, can we make ASP files into .dll?
Any ideas/suggestions will be a great help, even if it is not a solution.
Thanks!Hi...uhhh....PeePee (?)
As far as I know the answer is no to all your questions. But if someone else knows differently I'll be glad to admit my error.

Anyways, please let me know if you get something on this, as am quite desperate!Actually this possibly won't be a viable solution to your problem but here goes anyway.
When your server parses ASP code it turns it into HTML which is fine and dandy and pretty much prevents people getting at that (although Black Widow can rip a site apart and nab all the ASP, CGI and anything else you like).
One thing that ripper programs like BW can't get at is DLL's so the best thing to do is write your code as a class in Visual Basic (same as ASP only easier!) - compile it all up and then simply call those classes using ASP on your web pages. All the user will be able to get at is your formatting HTML and presto - secure code.
Of course, if you can't be bothered to learn VB or can't afford it you're up a certain stretch of water minus the required boat propelling implement.Hey PCheese, I think this might work. Though I don't know VB personally, my ASP coding team knows it well, so I shall ask them to have a look. If it works, then definitely let you know! Thanks.Hope it works for you.
If you need any assistance with the code for referencing classes from ASP let me know and I can lend you a hand.
