Is it possible to deploy an uncompiled ASP.NET Razor Pages website?

问题

I am wondering if it is possible to copy the source code of an ASP.NET Razor Pages website to a Windows web server and for it to run without it needing to be published/compiled?

Similar to what you can do with ASP.NET Web Forms websites where you upload the source code (*.aspx and *.aspx.cs files) and they compile at runtime?

I saw something about Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.RuntimeCompilation but I wasn't sure if this is what I was after and how to use it.

Is this possible and any guidance or links on how to do it?

PS. I'm sure this is not good practice, but would still like an answer... Thanks.

There's a way to allow deploy "uncompiled" *.cshtml. Assuming you're using ASP.NET Core 3.1:

First of all, add a package reference to Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.RuntimeCompilation:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.RuntimeCompilation" Version="3.1.*" />

Change your services to allow Runtime Compilation:

 services.AddRazorPages().AddRazorRuntimeCompilation();

Configure a custom Task to copy the source code to publish dir in your *.csproj file:

<ItemGroup>
    <ViewFiles Include="$(ProjectDir)\Pages\**\*.cshtml" />
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="CopyViewFilesAfterPublish" AfterTargets="Publish">
    <Copy SourceFiles="@(ViewFiles)" 
      DestinationFolder="$(PublishDir)\Pages\%(RecursiveDir)" 
    />
</Target>

Demo

I publish a RazorPage WebApp and host it on IIS. And then we can change the Pages/**/*.cshtml views dynamically:
