Visual Studio :: Publish Web Project - Securely - Best Approach?
Feb 14, 2010
I'm migrating from the website model to the web project model. In the past I used ssl/ftp (server is IIS7) to upload a website. The host (DiscountASP.NET) using VS2008 Publish to upload a project. VS2008 displays the alert that the password will pass in the clear. So ... what is the best practices approach to publishing a project?
1. SSL/FTP (not sure of the implications re: site compilation)
2. VS2008 Publish
3. VS2008 Web Deployment Projects
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?
I would like to publish our MVC project to the server where we want to put our mvc website via ftp.
If we manually do this by an ftp connection, it works fine. But we wanted to do it also by the publsh option in Visual Studio 2010. But when we do this we got the following error.
I just recently upgrade my asp.net web project from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2010. The upgrade was successful with no problems however im missing some features with this project. The One Click Publish feature(which is greyed out) in the header area of Visual Studio 2010 and the Add Config Transforms feature which is no where to be seen when you right click on web.config. When i create a new web project straight from visual studio 2010, these options work fine.
I'm trying to publish my ASP.NET web application in Visual Studio 2010. I'm then trying to install it as a website on a server using IIS. I've gotten my application to publish (to a .zip file) but it points to the physical directory on my hard drive. This obviously will not work on the server.
i create a asp.net web aplication project, and when i debug it i can see the result on localhost that is ok. but how can i publish this site on the web? there is no publish button ont the build menu and solution explorer menu?
Im working on a website project with Visual Studio 2010 from 2 different computers (home & work). In Dreamweaver Im used to FTP to upload/download files to/from a webserver to syncronice my files on the current computer Im working on.What is best option in Visual Studio 2010 to sync project files between home & work computers? I have seen there is a built in FTP, but seems only it can upload files, limited functionality?
when i opened my Visual Studio 2010 i noticed that my ajax tab was missing from my toolbox and ajax control kit too.Then i noticed even that when i create new website, there is no web.config in it and it should be.WHAT IS GOIN ON???? :/
i install url rewrite iis module to my computer i want when i press f5 in visual studio my project work with url rewrite how can i this?my web sites is not seeming in iis.
Just as the subject says, my VS'05 installation hangs when trying to create a new website. I even installed a fresh version of VS08 along side '05 and '08 is doing the same.
I have downloaded a project from the internet called the SMS Source example. I wanted to open this project in VS2010, so a conversion wizard has popped up prompting for the conversion. But it has errors in converting.
I have published my website using VS2010 and then selected FTP Site.Problem is that it does not show me update status. and takes too much time as compare to other FTP client. Is there any way or plugin for visual studio 2010 so i can build and directly publish that on FTP server.
How easy is it to publish your project using Visual Web Developer 2010? Right now, the ease of use using Database Publishing Wizard makes my publishing breezely smooth. [:)]
I recently updated my VS2010 website project from .NET 3.5 to 4.0. Everything was working fine in the website project. Today I decided to migrate the website to a web application project as I have learned this is the best way to work in .NET. I split out all my class files into a separate class library and copied all my other content into my new project. Then I updated all the references and web.config.
When I build the class library, everything works great. The problem is happening when I try to build/debug the web application project. It is acting like all the controls are missing and it is also throwing a bunch of compile errors about the public properties I have in my master pages.
Control errors: "The name 'INSERT CONTROL NAME HERE' does not exist in the current context"
Master page errors:'System.Web.UI.MasterPage' does not contain a definition....
It is giving these errors for every single control and master page property in my entire solution.I notice when I add a new web.form to this project, it also adds a filename.aspx.designer.cs file in addition to the .aspx and .aspx.cs file. My existing files do not have these extra files since they were created in a different .NET version.
UPDATE: It seems I was missing the step where I need to right click on the new application folder and select "Convert to web application". I just did that and it seems to be a little bit better...
Now it is choking on Literals that are inside single quotes:
Recently I've upgraded from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010, however I'm having various problems when uploading my compiled web site to the live area. I'm doing exactly the same as I would have done with Visual Studio 2008, however, now I receive errors such as:
{filename}.aspx is not a pre-compiled file masterpage.master does not exist
All these errors don't make sense. Has anyone encountered these problems before, and was a solution ever found?
I have a website(not an application) built in VS2008. When I try to publish the site, any of the files that are in the root folder are not published. This has only just started happening and I am unsure what I have changed to cause this. The files are not excluded from the project.
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.
I'm the first time using VS2010 deployment tool. I selected FTP publish, and all the configurations are correct. I'm just confused that after I clicked publish, there is no window or text shows the status of the uploading progress. When would it be finished? It's taking so long, and in the meantime I can't do anything.
Smooth Streaming requires .ism, .ismc, .dat files to make the Silverlight video player page work. If the "Only files needed to run this application" is selectd in the "Package/Publish Web" tab, these files are not published. Now I have to select "All files in this project" to publish them but this is undesirable because it also pushes all the source code files to the server. Is there any way to specifically tell VS that .ism, ismc and .dat files are required to run the application?
