How to Compress an ASPX Page?

Question

I followed the sample from here to compress my page:

But the result I get is a page full of odd characters:

��I�%&/m�{J�J��t��$ؐ@��iG#)�*��eVe]f@�흼��{��{��;�N'

Not sure what's wrong with that code?

I tried the code both in Page_Load and Page_Render events.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Update: just an update; my code was wrong! debugged it with FireBug/Net tab and it was revealed that a wrong Header was added.

Any reason not to use dynamic compression of dynamic content in IIS? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753681%28WS.10%29.aspx — Icarus, Sep 26 '11 at 13:08

I don't have access to IIS settings on the production server so if it can be done in the code, that's preferable. — The Light, Sep 26 '11 at 13:24
@William Do you wish to compress the CSS and javascript also? — Prasanth, Sep 26 '11 at 13:28
@Prasanth; I'm using JSBuilder to compress some custom js files. but yes how would you recommend compressing all css and js files? — The Light, Sep 26 '11 at 13:42

Use SquishIt to compress the CSS and JavaScript. It is a very good tool
