You need to run the site locally to generate the code for it. Or run it in an environment which is not precompiled. Then re-compile the site and redeploy it.

Thanks, for the quick response, it works locally as a localhost. Does it mean I have to do all my development locally. What's the best practice on moving my current site as a localhost

Ideally you will build in an environment which is not your live server. Then deploy using some publishing tools like FTP or repository commit which triggers a build and a pull to a server. Azure has these tools built in. Cheaper services you have to do on your own.
