Deploying Web Application

Hi all,

Is there a way to deploy a web application to a live server without using
the windows installer (not following the "Walkthroug h: Deploying a Web
Solution" in the VS.net's help). The application contains C# classes,
asp.net pages, and some third party's dll. Just that we are not that
comfortable with VS.net's Setup and Deployment Projects. It messes up some
COM object ver in our's desktop application. TIA

XCopy works pretty well.

Something along the lines of:

XCOPY C:\inetpub\wwwr oot\stagingenv\ www\*.aspx
w:\inetpub\wwwr oot\liveenv\www \ /E /Y
XCOPY C:\inetpub\wwwr oot\stagingenv\ www\*.dll
w:\inetpub\wwwr oot\liveenv\www \ /E /Y
XCOPY C:\inetpub\wwwr oot\stagingenv\ www\*.ascx
w:\inetpub\wwwr oot\liveenv\www \ /E /Y
XCOPY C:\inetpub\wwwr oot\stagingenv\ www\*.asax
w:\inetpub\wwwr oot\liveenv\www \ /E /Y
XCOPY C:\inetpub\wwwr oot\stagingenv\ www\*.css
w:\inetpub\wwwr oot\liveenv\www \ /E /Y
XCOPY C:\inetpub\wwwr oot\stagingenv\ www\*.gif
w:\inetpub\wwwr oot\liveenv\www \ /E /Y
XCOPY C:\inetpub\wwwr oot\stagingenv\ www\*.bmp
w:\inetpub\wwwr oot\liveenv\www \ /E /Y
XCOPY C:\inetpub\wwwr oot\stagingenv\ www\*.jpg
w:\inetpub\wwwr oot\liveenv\www \ /E /Y
XCOPY C:\inetpub\wwwr oot\stagingenv\ www\*.js w:\inetpub\wwwr oot\liveenv\www \
/E /Y

Where (w:) is a mapped drive to the live server

Hi,

Thanks, XCopy is good idea.
But there are C# class sources file here, is there a way to deploy the
classes without deploy the source file?

If you are using visual studio and you can connect to the web server from
your workstation, you could just use VS copy web project (Project - Copy
Project). This will work with server using just file share permissions or
with fp extensions (we use file share as we don't use fp ext on our
servers). Make sure the option "Only files needed to run this applicaiton"
is selected. This is what we've always used and seems the easiest and
quickest to use.

Over here we knocked up a mini app that copies files and folder structure.
It has the facility to exclude certain folders and file extentions.

Should take long to knock your self one up.

The .cs files are not needed for operation of the site, these are compiled
into your .dll for the webapp

Hi All I have a portal application that we have built that contains links to different modules.

My question, is it possible to update just a one dll...
