Most likely cause: the project is a "Web Site" (dynamic compilation) rather than a "Web Application" (single assembly). 's suggestion to search the project folder is a good start, but ASP.NET often compiles Web Site code into the framework's Temporary ASP.NET Files at runtime, not into a project bin folder. A Web Application project, by contrast, produces ProjectName.dll in the project's bin\Debug or bin\Release after a successful build.

How to get a single DLL to send the client:

  • Verify project type: Web Application projects have a .csproj; Web Site projects do not and often show an App_Code folder.
  • If you need one assembly, either convert the site to a Web Application (right‑click project -> Convert to Web Application) or precompile/publish the site (Build -> Publish Web Site or use aspnet_compiler).
  • Example precompile command:
    aspnet_compiler -p "C:\path\to\site" -v / "C:\precompiledOutput"

    The precompiled output will include a bin folder you can ship.

Quick troubleshooting checklist:

  • Clean and Rebuild and watch the Output window for errors and the actual output path.
  • Check Project Properties -> Assembly name / Output path and Solution Configuration Manager (project included in build).
  • If assemblies are only in Temporary ASP.NET Files, do not copy them directly for deployment — precompile or publish instead so you get stable, named DLLs (Release build).
