Always Pre-compile Before Running

When selected, this option always pre-compiles your entire application before running the application.  This improves the initial application performance since no run-time compilation is required, albeit at the expense of build time.

When you build and run your application from within Iron Speed Designer:

• Iron Speed Designer builds the ASPX pages and creates the Visual Basic .NET or C# code for your application.

• If the “Always Pre-compile Before Running” option is checked, the entire application is compiled before being launched in a browser.

• The browser launches the application, and if the application was not compiled, the page you requested is compiled and displayed.  In addition to the page you requested, all pages within the same folder are also compiled by Microsoft .NET Framework.

To improve your build and run performance:

• Turn off the “Always Pre-compile Before Running” option in the Build menu.

• Separate your application into multiple folders, with each folder containing no more than five to ten files.  By default, Iron Speed Designer will create pages within folders named after the database table.  However, you may have changed the Page Location to be a single folder via the Application Wizard Options dialog (Tools, Application Wizard Options...).  If you changed this option, hundreds of ASPX files may have been created in one folder.  The Microsoft .NET Framework will compile all of these files once when any of the pages are displayed.  This option cannot be changed for existing pages, but new pages can be created in separate folders.
