Answer 1

You need to either use the default website on IIS or set up a new one. After that it can be as easy as just copying your site in the directory your website set up to.

You can configure IIS if you right click on the My Compute icon, and choose Manage, then find the web server towards the bottom.

Try to search MSDN for more, or codeproject.com or this site, and look for aspx IIS set up.

Answer 2

to deploy your application to a server.

You would have to have a server with IIS installed and ASP.NET enabled(and working).

You should take the folder in inetpub and copy it to your server and that's it.

If your project is name foobar, there should be a directory name foobar in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ copy that to your web root in the server and you are done.

Visual Studio provide some way to do it in the GUI, you can see the article for more details
