I'm putting together my deployment plan for a major deployment next week (basically taking over a site). I've never had to deploy to multiple web servers before so I had some questions. Do I need to copy the files to each web server, or is there a tool which will do this for me? I have to supply the IP address to some 3rd party ve...

In our VS Web Application project, we have a post-build task that concatenates and minifies our JavaScript files into a single file name "OurApplication-.js" (where is the version of the website assembly). Since it is built automatically and has a frequently changing name, it is not part of the project or in source control. So far we ...
Today I've started adding Web Deployment projects for our web application, and noticed that the deployment project picks up everything that could be a content file from the web application, including the csproj files etc. I've seen online how you can manually exclude files using the MSBuild task ExcludeFromBuild, and that is currently t...

I want to compile my ASPX pages so that if there is a bug in them it will tell me to fix it. Traditionally Visual Studio only compiles the code behind so I found recommendations to use Web Deployment Project.

How do you deploy ASP.NET applications? Do you push it to production servers using UNC paths/mapped drives? FTP? SFTP? SSH/SCP (via 3rd party app installed)? Something else? Or do you pull it from the production servers with a Source control update or other mechanism? Consider the production servers being on the internet or in a DMZ, p...

I'm using Visual Studio Web Setup Project to instrument web application install kit. Unfortunately, the database is done by a Database Project created by VSTS Database Edition by my colleague(I'm using VSTS Developer Edition).

After the build I want to copy the files over to another machine (because whichever directory you build to is deleted then recreated). The ItemGroup for defining which files to copy is set up as follows: <ItemGroup Condition="'$(Configuratio...
