Hi

I have asp.net web app. How and which files do I copy to the web server? Is
there a utility that copy the needed files?


Thanks
 
Usually, it is sufficient to copy your global.asax, web.config, *.aspx
files, *.ascx files, bitmaps into the Web directory and then put the .dll in
the /bin subdirectory.

If you're compiling everything first, you don't need to put *.vb or *.cs
files on the server.
 
Hello

In addition to Ken Cox's comments, as far as tools for deployment you can create a setup package for your web development projects also

Follow these steps for a virtual directory setup

On the File menu go to Add Project-> New Projec

Click the Setup and Deployment Project

Click on the Web Setup and follow the wizar

Hope this is helpful

Hello Jeffrey

I went through that process at home and it worked great. However when
my team (for a senior project at school) tried to deploy our application
on the customer's server we failed.

He had created a virtual folder that was not in the root of the default
web site....does that make sense? And so the install went to the
default web site folder under the name of the deployment project. Is
there any way to be able to browse to the installation folder of choice
when using the wizard?

We ended up just copying everything over anyhow and it worked, but I was
just wondering.

Thanks

Bob
