Installation of nopCommerce 3.40 - Web vs. Source code

Hello,

On my development machine I have the source code version installed for debugging.
I've uploaded the Web , no source, version to my live server.

However, there are cases when modification of the templates or cshtml files is not enough, and you will need to update the code itself.

I've tried to do a minor change in ProductController.cs (following this discussion).

As far I understand, this file complies to Nop.Web.dll.
However, the size of Nop.Web.dll on the source version is ~688kb, while the Nop.Web.dll version on the no source is ~633kb.

When I tried to replace the live Nop.Web.dll with the local development version - the site didn't work.

Any advice how can I update the live site with the compiled code ?

Thanks

Thank you for your response.

However, as I've mentioned, I need to change the code of ProductController.cs , a .cs file and not .cshtml .
Therefore, I will need to compile the solution, so I guess I will need to update the .dll file on the server.

As mentioned, I've seen size differences between the .dll on the server and the one on the local machine.

Did you ensure you compiled as a release build rather than debug build? Either way if it was debug or release it should still work in Production.
