I just upgraded from VS2008 to VS2010, and now my web deployment project keeps rebuilding constantly. Even if I have a WinForms application set as the startup project and hit Ctrl+F5 to run it, the web deployment project rebuilds every time I hit Ctrl+F5. It didn't do this in VS2008. Does anyone know what's causing this?
View 1 Repliesis it possible to make a single assembly for whole WebSite in Visual Studio 2010?
With Web Deployment Project i can do this in VS2008, but it is not compatible with new version.
I need to deploy 3 projects using one single installer. The first project is a web project the second and third project are windows services.I need to use the .Net Deployment project to deploy all the project is a single installer. I have managed to create a installer and a custom action which gets the primary output of the both windows service but I am having problems installing the Web application.
If I create an output for the web application it gets installed in the application's folder and not on IIS folder and its not set as an application.
I built the solution once in release mode and it created all the necessary files in the release folder. I then deleted all the contents of the release folder. Now when I buid it for the second time, the release folder is empty. The dll is in the debug folder.
View 1 RepliesMy web application functions as expected when using non-compiled web pages. When I used a Web Deployment Project to build my solution (creating a separate assembly for each page and control output), the web application does not function (e.g.: pushing a button does not result in any action).
View 3 RepliesHave been searching for a while but am having no luck fixing this. I am running VS 2010 on a Win XP machine. My agency's developer converted our web app with no problem, and i can open it and compile the code in VS 2010. I am trying to run my wdproj to build the site to a local directory, and it will not. I get an output error:
Error 2

According to this website, I can go to Visual Studio 2005 Web Deployment Projects, and download the add-in, but I am not finding what I need. I have searched other sites for the add-in as well, but with no luck. where I can download the add-in?
If not, can someone provide documentation on how to properly deploy an ASP Web application? I have tried on my own, but I am apparently doing something incorrectly or incompletely, as I have several different problems with my current deployment. So I am looking to start over with the help of this add-in or by following more detailed documentation.
Is there a difference between the Web Setup Project in VS2008 and the Web Deployment Project that I keep reading about on this site? More importantly, how much of a help is the deployment project over just using the setup project?
View 1 RepliesI need to know how to add a post build event to a Web Deployment Project.
How can it be done?
Now i want to deploy that application without any interaction of IIS. I want to make setup of my project so that i can directly install it in client's pc. I have tried many ways of doing this. I have tried Xcopy method and even tried of adding web setup project.
View 2 RepliesI have an ASP .NET web project; let's call it XYZZY. On my development machine I test and debug it using IIS. Under the IIS virtual directory for XYZZY, I have several "sub" virtual directories which I reference for downloading documents. Let's call them Doc1, Doc2, Doc3. These virtual directories reference a shared folder on another machine. Everything works great on the development machine.
Now I would like to publish the XYZZY web application to the production machine using One-click deploy. I have told it to include all IIS settings as configured in IIS manager. When I deploy XYZZY to the production machine, it properly creates the XYZZY application directory under c:inetpubwwwrootXYZZY and copies all files there and creates the XYZZY application in IIS. However, when it creates the sub virtual directories Doc1, Doc2, Doc3 under XYZZY in IIS, it doesn't use the shared folder I have them
set up as on the development machine, it points all 3 of them to c:inetpubwwwrootXYZZY.
I've examined the metaproperties in the archive.xml from the zipped deployment package, and it correctly has the IIsWebVirtualDir virtual directory folder Path settings correct from the dev machine, but for some reason they are overridden when the app is deployed.
I have found the instructions on customizing the deployment settings complicated and confusing. Surely this requirement for creating IIS virtual directories during web package deployment must be common. Can anyone explain clearly how to get the deployment package to create the IIS virtual directories with the proper targets on the target machine? Ideally, it would be nice to be able to set them to different values based on the configuration just as Web.config can be customized, but that's not a requirement just yet.
I have a large folder (1.5 GB) in my ASP.NET Web Site, called Downloads, which contains media files, graphics, etc. No code that needs to be compiled or even deployed on every build.
I use Web Deployment Projects to compile and deploy. Every time I build the deployment project, the Downloads folder gets included and copied to the output location. This is taking a significant amount of time, because the folder is copied twice.
I've tried modifying the wdproj file like this:
<ItemGroup><ExcludeFromBuild
Include="$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)Download*"
/>
I've also tried not adding the * after the folder, but then I get a message that says the directory is not empty during the build process.
I've also tried this approach:
<ItemGroup>
<RemoveBeforeMerge Include="$(OutputPath)Downloads*" />
</ItemGroup>
And that still did not help. (also says: The directory is not empty.)What is the proper way to tell WDP not to consider a folder at all?
Can I create an incremental deployment package using either Visual Studio 2010 Web Deployment Projects or Web Deploy (Web Deployment Tool) .
I need to automatically select changed files from a source and destination or a change set on TFS and build a deployment package only with the changed files.
I have hosted a website in the iis and when i replace the file it is not updating the file it is showing the old version.
View 1 RepliesWhen I upgraded my Web Deployment Project from VS2008 to the VS2010 beta version, I was able to execute the build locally on my development box. However, when I tried to execute the build on our TeamCity build server, I began getting the following exception:

I would like to include a word document, and unused program files in a folder as part of my project, but I don't want it compiled, etc. How is the best way to do this?
View 1 RepliesI need to obfuscate a dll that is used in a ASP.NET project, the deployment project pruduces a setup.exe which I want to distribute. I have the VS 2008 Dotfuscator installed but when I build the deployment project the project that creates the dll is rebuilt before it is added to the deployment project and added to the setup.exe.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to deploy an ASP.NET 3.5 Web Application to my production server and I am using the Web Deployment Project for this purpose. I have a folder named MasterPages in the root of the application which contains all the master page files. When I build this project in the release mode and deploy it on to the server I am getting the below error message:
Directory 'C:inetpubwwwrootMasterPages' does not exist. Failed to start monitoring file changes.
I am using ASP.NET AJAX and the ToolkitScriptManager is on the master pages. I have noticed that the MasterPages folder is missing from the release build.
I have a project which involves a database (sql server 2008 express) class library, webservice and a website which I want to deploy on a windows server 2003 with IIS 6. I look ed on the web and how to do this for the website mostly but unfortunately not that much for the webservice, classlibrary and database.
View 1 Repliesi have a project which runs fine when I build it and run it. But when I add an web deployment project to the same, it throws out a "server block is not well formed" error in Default.aspx page
through googling i found out that it may have something to do with page/server directives. but i cant figue out what is wrong with this code.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="KnowledgeBase.Web.UI._Default" %>
I have several ASP.NET web projects and their Output folder are set to "C:Builds[ProjectName]bin" (instead of the default "bin" folder). This makes "F5" Debugging not working because the ASP.NET Development Server expects the "bin" folder under the project folder.
I then changed to use Local IIS Web server (http://localhost/webproject1") and manually updated the vdir physical path to my custom output path. However the VS2010 will not load the csproj because it detects the url is already mapped to a different folder location.
I know I probably shouldn't change the Output folder. But wondering if there is an easy way to workaround this? The goal is to make "F5" debugging work with custom build Output folders.
I'm about to begin a new asp.net application using .net 4.0. Only concern I have is since the project calls for reporting, I cannot use SSRS with SQL Server 2008 b/c the tempate for Bus Intelligence Projects is missing from 4.0. I've been told that the next release of SQL Server 2011 (some time this year), will resolve this problem. Meanwhile, I'm wondering if the following approach would work:
1) Create the application in VS2010 using the SQL Server 2008 db.
2) Create the SSRS Bus Intelligence project using VS2008 and create a seperate website pointing to the same SQL Server 2008 Db?
Kind of a hack, but I guess the only problem with this is, the Bus Intelligence project will not be able to reference and leverage and DLL or code from the application.
I have had a project called Articles and the project complies fine. I have it running as a seperate site on my machine and it works like a charm under IIS7. When I start the project from VS2010 in debug mode (by pressing F5) it lands on a page that says: "Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'Articles._Default'."
I i however change the path in the browser from [URL] Home it works fine again, indicating that my routing table is bust but it was working yesterday and I did not change any route, The error page also says: "Please do not delete this file. It is used to ensure that ASP.NET MVC is activated by IIS when a user makes a "/" request to the server." That idicates to me that it went to default.aspx...right?
I'm trying to publish my mvc3 project to a web host server, I right clicked my project and selected publish, there i entered the ftp information, VS2010 uploaded the files to the ftp, but when i try to surf to the remote site i get an error "Directory Listing Denied". all guides I found requierd an installation on the web host side, is there no way to just upload the site like in classic asp?
View 2 RepliesI'm a bit cautions about converting one of my sites to .net 4 at the same instant I move to vs2010. When I convert the sln and csproj files, there is an option to "convert web sites to .net 4" which I did not check.Once I get more comfortable using vs2010, I'd like to do that conversion to .net 4, but I can't find an option to do that in VS.
