How to fix ASP.NET error “The file 'nnn.aspx' has not been pre-compiled, and cannot be requested.”?

Question

I have a VS 2005 web site that I publish using \"Publish Web Site\", and I clear all the three checkboxes. I also have a deployment project that picks up the published files

Answer 1

This error can also occur if you have a .compiled file in bin for a page that is no longer a part of your project. You receive this in place of 404 essentially. Remove the .compiled file and then you get 404.
