C# - What's The Appropriate Way To Deploy Application To Production
Jul 17, 2010
I hate to sound stupid, but ASP.NET is not my forte. I have build an ASP.NET application which I now which to deploy to a production server. Searching on the web I found that it's recommended to just use the Setup tool within VS2010 to compile and install the files on the production servers. However, I find it a bit weird:
The files on the server are exactly those that I had on my system. I would've imagined that moving to a production server would involve some compiling and compression of file content so as to improve execution. But in practice all files on the server are exactly as they are on my local system -- I can even modify my .cs file on the servers and that works!! (Surprised ;-)). Following from the above, all my code is readily available on the server for anyone to see. I am not sure if this is a problem... For example, could it end up a security risk (due to passwords within the files)?

My technique for deploying an ASP.NET webapp into production is as follows: Client: Select 'Release' mode and then right-click to publish. Go manually to the publish folder and zip contents. Now transfer to server by FTP.
Server:
Unzip folder contents. Stop IIS. Deploy new folder contents for web app. Start IIS. I don't stop the database or run any additional tools to promote to production. It's a small company, and this seems fine. What's wrong with this technique in your opinion?

I am developing a MVC 2 application that uses aspnetdb on my SQL Server 2008 detabase for forms authentication. On my development machine I can configure the users, roles and permissions using my Website Administration Tool (WAT). My question is how do I deploy this database to a production server and how do I configure it with users, roles and permissions?

I'm trying to find the best server architecture solution to deploy monthly updates to an Asp.net external public facing website. What I'm looking for are ways to release a new version of a website with minimal impact to users. Besides deploying the standard way (ie. stop IIS, copy new website over existing website, start IIS), what are some "better" solutions for deployment out there? It would be nice if they kept their session and didn't have to see a "Website under maintenance" message during the update. My server configuration
We have 2 IIS web servers (2003) and are trying to figure out the best way to utilize them for deployments. My first thought was to update the non-active web server with the latest release. Then to gracefully point the web traffic to that server with minimal impact to users (best case, the user doesn't lose his session). How would you go about "repointing" the web traffic from server 1 to server 2? Changing firewall NAT? Changing DNS records? Some other way?? We need to be able to test the live site immediately after we release the new changes (duh). BTW, we are using nant and cruise control to automate the builds, and a custom web service to deploy the build to production. So it's all automated with the click of a button. Could a better solution be achieved using a 3rd server? If so how?

I am developing 2 Applications. One WebForms and the other is MVC. How can i secure the code such that when i deploy them to the clients production environment, they cannot be simply picked up, copied and repackaged by someone else?. I simply need a way to protect my intellectual property. Can this be done in Visual Studio 2010?

I have around 100 rdl report files...what i have found in google is -> open RS Admin site upload each report...doing this manually takes a lot of time... We don't want to use Target report server url method and clicking deploy option to deploy the reports or report project onto the report server...because we are not provided with such production server url information...!! In client perspective...We just give the reports as a rar file...now client will have to extract the report files...and what should be the next step...!! Is there anyway to deploy or upload all the reports at a time...!!

Apologies if this seems obvious, but after a week searching I can't find a clear answer to my problem.
I have developed an application in Visual Web Developer 2010 Express that uses the asp.net application services membership provider. It works well in development on my machine (data in the ASPNETDB.MDF database).
I packaged my application and deployed the relevant files with FTP to my shared hosting provider.
I took a copy of the ASPNETDB.MDF and restored it to the SQL Server 2008 on my shared hosting. I can connect to this through the Database Explorer in Visual Web Developer, but it doesn't contain any schema or data.
I know once I have the database in production I will have to make sure the connection string in web.config is poiting to it, but I don't know how to get the DB to production in the first place.

Question: I created an ASP.NET web application. Now it originally was meant for deployment on a webserver.
That is working, so, so far so good. My question now is: Is it possible to deploy it as a desktop-application, too? That is to say the installer installs some kind of server, plus the web application, configures the server to run this application on a localhost URL, and then creates a link in the start menu/desktop, where it opens that url (website, the application) on localhost in a web browser?
I think it should be possible, though the server wouldn't be IIS, because this is a windows component which can't be separately installed. Is there anything like this already out there? The nonplusultra would be that it only starts the server when you click on the shortcut.

I have an application which has a website and a project. The project contains an executable file which I'm trying to run as a process from the website's Global.asax file's application_start(). When I run this application from localhost, everything runs smoothly but when I deploy the application on IIS, application_start's code is executed and I can see the process name in the taskmanager but I cannot see the window which the console application normally starts in (when i run the application on localhost) and neither is the code executed.
Here's what I'm doing:
-- copied website and project in wwwroot
-- made a virtual directory of the website
-- when i run the website, I see the process in taskmanager but the code is not executed.
I am new to deployment and IIS, and would really appreciate I someone could tell me what i'm missing

Can I objectively determine if my production ASP.NET web application is resetting its application pool? It could be for whatever reason (for example, an error occurred or memory topped off). I don't have direct access to my production servers, so when I want something on the server, I have ask specifically for it like PerfMon counters to run. It is a running IIS 6.0. I understand that I could use PerfMon to catch ASP.NET Application Restarts. If I was not monitoring that PerfMon, is there anything that can tell me the application restarted sometime in the past?

Is is possible to deploy asp.net application to CD-ROM and have it in Computer Based Training Format (CBT) with no requirements for user to install anything on computer ?
1) User takes CBT and places in laptop
2) ASP.net application opens and runs from CD, as if user pointed browser to it.
3) have considered Cassini, but I don't know if is something easier with visual studio 10? Cassini requires intall by user, I don't want that.
4) am willing to try anything as long as it is fee ( i.e. using my trial versions of VS 10, or VS 2005).
5) or is my only option to convert to pure html--- because that I know I can do from CD to make a CBT.
