Typically, you don't want or need the .vb / .cs etc files on a production
server. Any code files should have been compiled into the library or
executable used for your web application; these files are located within the
project's bin directory. Other files, such as the .aspx, .ascx etc. are
considered content of the project and are also copied. Obviously, any VB/C#
server side code within the content pages will be compiled on the server as
needed.

So, as a rule of thumb, you wouldn't expect to see .vb/.cs files (or indeed
.pdb or other debug files) on a web server as the code has been compiled.
In this respect, I would suggest you are right and your over excited friend
is wrong :)

A simple exercise if you have VS.NET is to select a file in the solution
explorer tree and look at the properties - the "Build Action" entry denotes
what is done with the file. Content is simply copied; Compile is just that;
Embedded Resource is auxilary info chucked into the assemblies etc.
