ASP.NET Deployment

Question

I have developed an ASP.NET Website in Visual Studio 2008. Now I want to deploy that in some other machine. How can I do that?? Like we make an installation package for Windows application what can we do for ASP.NET Websites?

Answer 1

Consider using the Web Deployment Tool from Microsoft. It was specifically designed to help deploy web applications and updates to those web applications to production IIS 6 and 7 web servers and it does a better job of the task than MSI (Windows Installer), IMHO.

Answer 2

You should precompile it first.

I use the web deployment projects, precompile and upload.
