Deploying .Net Application in visual studio 2005

All,
I am trying to deploy my .Net 2.0 web application and I am looking for
the best approach. The setup and deployment project seems to copy the
whole source files also. Is there a better way to do this? Or am I
doing anything wrong?

My solution has one web project and 3-4 web services.
Please advice which is th best way to deploy my application.

Thanks in advance

Hi Nerd,

Right click your web application and select Publish. Chose a handy temp
folder and VS2005 will create a compiled version of your web application
and put the files in the temp folder. Then zip the content and ship it to
wherever it should be installed.

Thanks Morten Wennevik
But this doesn't create a "setup" program. Does it?
We have to create the virtual directory and all manually.. right?

Is there some way I can publish the website and use it by the "Set Up
and Deployment" project to create a setup program?

Maybe this will let you deploy a compiled version

Hi, I usually deploy my ASP .NET application to the server by publishing, using Visual Studio 2005 publish feature. This creates the Bin folder on the server, with the compiled DLLs.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
