11.1 Deploying ASP.NET Applications

For
most common applications, all you need to do to deploy the
application is set up an IIS virtual directory on the target machine
and copy the application's files to it. Assuming
that the .NET Framework is installed on the target machine, the
application should then run without further configuration or setup.

This type of scenario includes both ASP.NET applications written with
their code inline in .

aspx files and those that
use code-behind files. Note, however, that deploying the code-behind
files themselves is not necessary, as long as you deploy the assembly
or assemblies compiled from them.

To deploy an ASP.NET application:

1. Create and configure a new IIS virtual directory (or web site) on the
   target machine using Internet Services Manager.

2. Use Windows Explorer, XCOPY, FTP, or another
   transfer mechanism to copy the files and folders contained in the
   application's root directory to the new directory on
   the target machine. If you have Visual Studio .NET, you can also use
   the Copy Project command from the Project menu to deploy the files to
   a new location, as described later in this chapter (this does not
   require step 1, as the Copy Project command will take care of that as
   well).

As long as any assemblies you're using are in the

bin subdirectory of your application and
you're not using COM components through COM Interop,
it's really that simple. Because all
application-specific configuration information is contained in your

web.config file(s), this information is
automatically copied with the application. In situations when you use
shared assemblies, a little more work is necessary, as
we'll discuss in the next section.
