Website deployment

Hi group,

(sorry if deployment is not the right term for what I mean).
I develop a website at my desk, testing it with my own IIS on my own box.
Then when a new feature is ready for release, I have to copy the modified
files to the 'real' website. That is, I copy the DLL in /bin, and any .aspx
or .ascx I changed. I don't want to put there my .cs nor .resx

Now, when I change a lot of .aspx files, that means a lot of time digging
through every directory to copy only the pages and not the code behind.
There must be a way to do that nicely ? What button did I miss in VS.NET ?

Thanks,
Karine Proot

What you need to do is:

Select/Highlight the web project in the solution explorer
From the menu go to Project | Copy Project (there is also an icon for
this in the Solution Explorer)

this pops up a dialog for you to fill in.

I find that creating a virtual folder on your workstation first as the
'deployment' folder works best, then use file share for web access,
and copy only the files needed for your application.

that should do the trick.

Ah, thanks, that's great. Although it doesn't remove VSS folders and debug
files in /bin, it's really helpful !
