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.
This is getting me a little frustrated, and I looked around the net for the solution and was not able to find any as of yet.I'm trying to have Web Deployment projects in VS 2010. I have it installed for VS2008, but I was not able to find anything to install for VS 2010.I basically want to merge all outputs to a single assembly in 2010. How do I do that??
View 5 RepliesI don't understand how to use this feature called "Build deployment package" in VS 2010. I go to my properties and go to package/publish web and setup it up. I click "Create deployment package as zip"
I then build the deployment package and get a zip file.
When I look into and start drilling down in the folders I find I get a path like this
[Code]....
I don't understand why it makes all these folders and on top of it why is it my path to where my soultion sits. I don't like the fact that now everyone can look in the zip and see my accoutn name, where the file was sitting, that I am using subversion.
Then it makes it so confusing to when a error happens. I deployed it on my IIS windows 2008 server and ran it and I had a error show up. It pointed to the file where the error occured and the path was point to my desktop.For the longest time I could not understand why it was pointing to my windows 7 machine desktop when it was running on a windows 2008 server located in a different country.
It was not until I found out with the zip path it made sense. But that is confusing when it is pointing to paths that don't exist on that computer.
How can I change this?
I have developed a web application using Visual Studio 2010 and in that application I have used AjaxControlToolkti 3.5 in some pages. When I go to Solution Explorer->References I have AjaxControlToolKit.dll file and if I take the property of that file i see the following in PATH field E:My DataEBPMinAjaxControlToolkit.dll which is a path of my development machine.
After that I went to my UAT machine (windows xp + IIS 6.0) copy the entire project in a folder of UAT machine, created a virtual directory, provided Alias and the Directory.Now when I access my UAT server from outside it works perfect except it throws "RunTime Error" on those pages where I have used
<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="cc1" %>
I guess as my AjaxControlToolkit path is refereing to my development machine location therefore its throwing error...what's the solution without making proper deployment. Actually on our UAT all the applications are using IIS 6.0 and if i go on proper deployment and IIS 7.0 (i guess it requires for deployment from Visual Studio 2010) I will have to reconfigure all the applications on UAT which I cannot do at this moment.
The Visual Studio 2005 web deployment project plugin used to be here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/asp.net/Aa336619.aspx
This just goes to the ASP.NET home page now, and I've had no luck Googling (or ... Binging?) for it. Does anyone know if this is still available for download anywhere?
I'm about to upgrade to Visual Studio 2010, and I'm learning that there are now a few options for deploying web application projects. I've been using Web Deployment Projects in 2008, and my initial thought was to do the same in 2010.
Is there any advantage to using Publish or the Web Deployment Tool over Web Deployment Projects?
I need to automate the process so that the build and the deployment can be run from TeamCity. I'd prefer a method that would allow me to use the Visual Studio (sln) Runner but a custom MSBuild script would be OK too. See Web Application Deployment Workflow with SVN and TeamCity for more information on my current build/deployment workflow.
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.
Im trying to build a deployment package out of VS2010 against a web project and want to include all IIS settings as configured in IIS Manager. However when i enable this i get the following error message
Object of type 'manifest' and path
[code]...
Now this error makes very little sense as the specified application does exist in Default Web Site. I've checked the spelling. I've tried having ISV as a virtual directory and as an Application and tried with and without the ISV folder.
On the Web page i hae the Project URL set to [URL] On the Package/Publish tab IIS web site name is set to "Default Web Site/ISV/Web.Crm.Framework/"
Bing/Google search turn up very little on this and the documentation is not really detailed enough.

View 2 RepliesIn VS 2010 I have created an ASP.NET website. When I press the green play button {Debug} the site runs on my local server fine with no errors at all.
Finally I was happy with the site, so I went and purchased Windows Shared Hosting. I got all the details ..etc
Then in VS 2010 I right-clicked on the solution and choose Publish Website. I enetered my ftp details .. it asked me for username and pass < I provided those and clicked OK.
All seemed fine ! the files transfered over to the server ..etc But for some reason I now get errors !
Have 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:

I 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 RepliesIn the properties for the web development project I have to specify a name for the dll and this dll gets put into the build target of the deployment propject.
Why is this?
A few years ago, I built a desktop application for a client in VS 2005 that was deployed using Click Once. Recently, the client asked me to make a simple modification to the site.
I no longer had VS 2005 (or the same machine for that matter) and was forced to upgrade the application to Visual Studio 2008.
Most of the application is fine in VS 2008 - however I am unable to Publish the application. During the project conversion process and whenever I try to publish the application, I receive a message like this:
"This project includes a password-encrypted key used for signing. Enter the password for the key file to import the key file into the local crypto-store database for use."
Unfortunately, I don't have any idea what the password would be for this application.What options do I have? Is there a way to get this working again without having to rebuild the application or have all of the users uninstall the application and reinstall it?
I am using Web Deployment v10.0 RTW and .NET Framework version 4.0 MSBuild.
There were some problems with incorrect settings and resulting in errors. I had to pass in my own values in order to continue to the next step:
[Code]....
With the above setting, it builds in .NET 4.0 instead of 2.0, but I am having trouble with AspNetMerge:
[Code]....
I was able to solve the above error by changing this inMSBuildMicrosoftWebDeploymentv10.0Microsoft.WebDeployment.targets:
[Code]....
But soon came to another error:
[Code]....
So I changed some more to make it work:
[Code]....
But again hit with another error but this one I can't solve:
(AspNetMerge target) ->
aspnet_merge : error 1008: The PrecompiledApp.config file is missing. Make sure the application has been precompiled with the Aspnet_compiler tool.
The web application that a company I'm doing consulting for has all the web files (.aspx, .vb, .ascx, web.config, etc.) but no .sln files or anything of that sort to open in Visual Studio and deploy the site and whatnot.
What's the best way to go about using Visual Studio to redeploy changes I make to this type of system?
i 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.

I am trying to get VS 2008 SP1 to precompile a development site using the Web Deployment Project method. I've done this previously with a different site containing ASPX pages, with success. However, this is a third party example web application containing a set of ASCX controls. The idea is that I want to create a precompiled DLL containing the controls, that can then be distributed as a library DLL. I thought the the use of WDP should allow the compiler to compile all the ASCX controls, and then optionally merge them all into a single DLL.
The problem is, the WDP build reports that it succeeds, but the only file generated is the precompiledapp.config file. On closer inspection of the reporting, it seems that the only error reported is:
aspnet_merge : warning 1013: Cannot find any assemblies that can be merged ...
which I assume refers to the DLL merging process at the end of the compile. This that the compiler was unable to find or process any of the ascx controls in the web application, and so didn't produce any DLLs from them.
I don't really understand what is going wrong here. Should I be able to run a Web Deployment Project like this to compile ASCX controls in this way, and if so, what is likely to be going wrong here? Could the ASCX files somehow be protected from the compiler, to prevent redistribution?
I have created setup and deployment projects. I have to design each screen like welcome screen, userscreen,install screen etc. I can see user interface to design that screens.

I've created a deployment package in visualStudio, the package is generated, but it has an awfull structure, which is basically, the path where I've my project(e.g "CONTENT/D_C/WorkSpace/MyCustomer/TheProjectName/TheDevelopmentBranchFolder/TheCurrentBranch/TheWebApplicationName/obj/Release/Package/PackageTmp/TheSiteIsFinallyHere!!!"
It's problematic, because with the web deployer of IIS, it recreate this path.
So how can I avoid the "D_C/WorkSpace/MyCustomer/TheProjectName/TheDevelopmentBranchFolder/TheCurrentBranch/TheWebApplicationName/obj/Release/Package/PackageTmp" part in visual studio?
I've tried all kinds of searches on this site and with Bing and don't seem to get any hits that meet my condition. So pardon me if this is a rather basic question. I'm rather new at ASP.NET programming.I want to experiment with putting up to a live site. GoDaddy gives you free hosting if you get the URL from them. The catch is the hosting only supports IIS 7.0 with .Net 2.0/3.0/3.5. I've uploaded all kinds of plain websites with no problem. So in Visual
Studio 2010 I selected the following options while creating a new project:
<customErrors mode="Off" />
<!--<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0">-->
<compilation debug="true" >

I tried various solutions offered on the web for other issues like setting References "Copy Local = true" to upload various binaries.
