ASP.NET Webforms Deployment & Markup Changes

In ASP.NET Web Forms, I know when the C# changes the primary DLL also needs to be deployed. I also know when the markup (.aspx, .master) changes where new controls are added, the primary DLL needs to be deployed.

What about when the markup (.aspx, .master) changes and no controls are added? Can the .aspx or .master page be changed without deploying the associated DLL? I see 2 scenarios that may have different answers:

  1. Simple markup changes (e.g. HTML, CSS. JS)
  2. Dynamic changes in the markup (e.g. add <%=Page.ResolveUrl("~/test.aspx") %>)

**Note:

Ideally I'd deploy the whole app on any change, but I'm dealing with a fragile legacy app.

.aspx or .master pages be changed without deploying the associated DLL provided changed contents/controls don't change the interaction with the server-side code. For example in Home.aspx you add a paragraph <p>Sometext</p> deploy just Home.aspx, application would keep working. On the other hand, obviously, if any control name is changed/event is added, you need to deploy associated DLL (after necessary updates).

I hope this helps!
