I have developed a responsive asp.net website using Visual Studio 2015 Community by choosing the default ASP.NET Forms template . On my local computer, the website runs perfectly fine, but when I uploaded all the files of the website to the internet server, I found that I am not able to upload three files with .exe extension namely "csc.exe","vbc.exe" and "VBCSCompiler.exe" under the path "/Bin/roslyn". I raised a ticket to my hosting provider net4india and they are saying that they don't allow .exe files to be uploaded on server as they may be potential viruses. I had earlier developed this website on Visual Studio 2010 and was working perfectly fine on the hosting server also , but I wanted to make it responsive and I don't know how to use bootstrap, so I had choosen the template for ready-made coding, but now this is a big problem. I have googled a lot on this issue, but not found anything even near to what I am facing , even on stackoverflow. How can I resolve this issue ? Is any work-around possible for this like converting the .exe to .dll files or anything like that ? Please help.

    Why do you need the compiler? Can't you generate a deployment package and deploy it? – Rubens Farias Sep 18 '15 at 09:31

  • @SiddhikaChhelavda: Either pick a better host, or switch to ASP.Net 4.5 and MVC 5. – SLaks Sep 18 '15 at 14:11

You can deploy even without Roslyn with no change in code. Open NuGet Package Manager window and uninstall Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform package and rebuild & republish. This will solve your purpose. Basically this will not generate any csc.exe, vbc.exe files inside bin folder.

No hosting provider will allow you to run exe files. If you really want that, you should go for (virtual) dedicated server.
