Home > ASP : Hide ASP Code

Question By: Komail Noori   Date: 7/20/2010

Hide ASP Code

I've an Asp CRM/CMS system, so far i am hosting it on my server, now there is a need that few of my clients want it hosted on their Server. Now i spent years building this sofwate and I cant just give them the source code, i am afraid they can replicate it for other needs or maybe modify it without letting me know.

I know i can compile my code into DLL's. but I've used DLL's before and had many issues with them, Server's slow response/crash etc. plus for me to mdify a dll and publish it back to server is a hassle.

Does anyone knows a GOOD way to hide my code from other People? if I have to install something on their server to hide my code, that would work as well.

please advise.

Komail Noori,

Im sorry but tha only BEST of protecting your source is create an DLL classes.

Ive used DLLs many times within web applications and has no issues. just make sure you closing objects in DLLs and you should be good.

Do not open or close connections in DLL, pass a reference of Connection object to DLL. Dont pass entire user info one by one, save all data into single 2D array ans pass the entire array.

Create DLL in .NET instead of Visual Basic.

That is the only protective way to save your code.

Upgradign your CRM to .NET is another solution, you can compile your entire CRM and publish it to clients.


Good Luck.
