Easy Deploy ASP.NET Web site Articles, samples and tutorials

Hello All
My guide to all ASP.NET engineers will be plain & simple. This article describes when you already have built-in site which needs to be deployed. There are two best way to deploy ASP.NET websites on Integration/Production web servers using VS2008 :

1.XCOPY – This I personally prefer more because only changed file needs to be copied to web server incase Code changes.
Pros
a. Delta Files Deployment e.g. For example: In case your solution has 1000 pages including ASPX,ASPX.CS,ASCX etc and only 2 files are changed to you only have to updates the changed files in our case its 2 to Web Server.
b. Fast Deployment : As number of files will be comparatively less in next deployment so it will be fast & quick.
c. Needs Less Testing : as only few code bases changes to faster testing can be done
d. Less Impact for Website failure : As only the delta code base is deployed so less chance for whole website to break.
Cons
a. Security – Sharing code base files are not web practice at all until its Dedicated web servers.
b.
2.Publish : To publish website as a Open your website/solution in VS2008 and Click on Build --> Publish Web site. A new window will popup asking for the folder name where published code can be saved. So its Build/Release Manager or Developers wish to provide a valid path. Provide the path and Click on OK. The published code will be saved there. Now copy this code to the web server as its configured.

Isn't it so simple :). So wish you a happy Deployment.

Thanks
