• Allow this precompiled site to be updatable
• Use fixed naming and single page assemblies
• Enable strong naming on precompiled assemblies

The Allow this precompiled site to be update option when checked leaves all of the .aspx and .ascx files alone.  This way they can be changed by an external tool (i.e.: Rhythmyx).  When it is unchecked, it compiles the entire site including .aspx and .ascx files into a single dll or multiple dlls.

The Use fixed naming and single page assemblies option tells the compiler to use the same names for the dlls it creates every time it compiles.  It also will make the compiler create seperate dlls for every page and control on the site.  This will allow for indiviudal controls to be updated without affecting any of the other ones.  The filename format for a particular dll will be App_web_<filename>.<random four byte hex string>.dll.  So the filename for the LocationTime control would look like this, App_web_locationtime.ascx.2ce845ef.dll.  The random four byte hex string is supposedly the same every time you compile.  It also seems to use the same string at each directory level.  When unchecked there is no guarantee what the filenames will be in the dlls and entire directories will be grouped into the same dlls.

Enable Strong Naming on Precompiled Assemblies is basically the same as specifynig a key in the assemblyinfo.cs in ASP.NET 1.1.

As described above, there are a ton of differences in compiling with ASP.NET 2.0.  Hopefully this will make it easier to understand.
