How to deploy ASP.NET Apps

Hi,

I create and develop my ASP.NET apps locally on my PC,
which is running IIS. Now I want to deploy those apps on
another web server (application run-time only), so what
exactly are the steps?

The target web server is a User Test web server which has
the .NET Framework only, no VS .NET of course. My first
attempt was to copy the bin directory and the .ASPX files
and that initially worked until I invoked a feature in my
app, which creates an Access database. That feature
rquires ADODB.DLL, and it was not on the User Test web
server, so the application crashed.

What are the steps in deploying a web app from a dev
server to a run-time server? Besides the bin directory,
how do I know and how can I ensure that all the dependent
files are also deployed?

Thanks,

NP

Try the "copy project" option in VSNET. works like a
charm.

Thanks, Steve.

I just tried it and that does the trick! I've seen that
menu option before, but I never clicked it because I took
it to only literally mean just a copy (i.e., duplicate).

But even in the online help, I looked up Deploying
Projects in the index and did not find a reference to Copy
Project.

Anyway, thanks for the info!

Open your project in VS.NET
Under the Project drowndown menu there is a "Copy Project..." menu item.Select it, and a nice friendly dialog box pops up with instructions and helplinks and the works.

Even better than copy project, in my opinion, is the fact that you can
create an MSI file to install a web site on a server. My admins love just
getting a single file which deploys a site completely and accurately every
time.

Hi there, What's a great tool to use to deploy n-tier web-based apps?
