deploying VWDxpress websites with databases?

I have a "newbie" deployment question.

I want to confirm what's involved in deploying a web created with Visual Web
Developer Express Edition to a production Server2003/IIS 6 server.

The project to be deployed has a typical membership database created through
the administrative interface ("App_Data/ASPNETDB.MDF").

For that dB to work on the webserver, does SQL Server Express Ed. have to be
installed on the webserver as well?

If so, are there any downsides to installing it, other than the performance
issue of running a dB server on the webserver? Any security issues? This is
not a high-traffic website.

Or is the recommended solution, regardless, to set up a dB on a separate SQL
server and have the user change the connection strings to use the SQL
Server? (and copy the tables from the local dB to the server using SQL Mgmt
Studio Express?)

TIA, and please point me to a better group if this question is Off-Topic!

Hi, I have used the setup wizard to build an installer that installs my asp.net application. Problem is, at my current job, they have an alternative web folder at the root level (to clarify, at the Default Web Site level, there is also another Web Folder). When I run the installer, it only wants to install the site under the Default Web Site, and doesn't appear to have any way of selecting the alternative location.

I am trying to deploy an app to a WLBS cluster. We've been testing on our QA WLBS cluster. In VS.NET 2K3, I typically use the "Copy Project" button to copy the project to the next tier.

If I have created my Web Application on my PC using command and connection objects (dragging them onto the forms from the Server Explorer window) how do I make it work when I deploy the application (and presumably the dB) to the Host server? The connection objects all refer to my PC not the server the app will eventually end up on? I guess my question is general. Where do I find out how to deploy a SQL Server/ASP.NET app to a...

I think some of the changes to Asp.net are rediculous. Take the ability to deploy source code to production that is compiled on the fly. If this is such a great model, why not distribute your source code with your Windows Forms apps too? John Powell

Can someone tell me the correct way to setup my WebProject so that I can add an Installer project to my solution. I have a web project folder for a website that I have called C:\Websites\AFD.

Works great on my client when I test from vs.net 2005. Howevever, when I deploy to the web server, I get this error: remotely and local from the web server.

I'm still stuck on the .dll and bin folder mentality in 1.1. When deploying a 2.0 web application, there is no web .dll to deploy? So is this how we deploy in 2.0? 1. Copy the app_code folder 2. Copy the bin directory containing any pre-compiled dlls 3. Move BOTH aspx AND aspx.vb files into the applicable directories (is this correct?) If so, we're just duplicating the file system from the development

Greetings. I have a ASP.NET C# application that I'm working on to deploy websites and databases. I have been able to update DNS A records using System.Management and now I need to create a new IIS site and database from the same script then install a ASP.NET app under the new site. All from a web interface. Just wondering if there is a tool or example in script for doing this. Thanks!

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
