Deploying a Web Application

[MisinformedDNA]

I am trying to deploy a Web Application and have seen this (http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a72/how-do-i-deploy-visual-studio-20082005-visual-web-developer.aspx?KBSearchID=54289) referenced multiple times, but I don't have a "Web Site" option nor do I see a way to copy the web site.

I'm guessing the issue is that I created a Web Application, not a Web Site, since I can see the options when I create a web site.

I don't want to convert my web application to a web site.

What are the steps for deploying a web application?

Thanks.

Hi,
This has come up in a lot of MSDN Webcasts and it has indeed confused many developers.
(Typically the conversion is from a Website to an Application)
Take a look at the links in this, you'll find a lot of articles on-line:

Actually, I found Build -> Publish to work just fine.

I'm putting this out there for the person like myself who just started their account and wants to get the first app up on the web as a test.

I built a HelloWorldSampleApp ASP.NET application and tested it locally on IIS (Visual Studio 2008)

From Visual Studio, I selected Build->Publish HelloWorldSampleApp.

I used the ftp address (not http) and used my ftp login and password.

It deployed successfully.

FTP names are customerID|username
1234567|fissuresimp

I went to this url:
http://fissuresimp.web###.discountasp.net/Default.Aspx

I ran my application.;)


-fyi

It took me a while .. low learning curve .. but I got a successful publish ..

except:

I created an application on my laptop

Very simple

Created a connection string to data in my discountasp sql 2005 file ..

Program works like a champ ..

I published the solution to my website ..

Works like a champ except the data that came to my laptop from discountasp is not going to the url on discount asp:

The silverlight program runs fine.. and there are no error messages

Any thoughts?

Hi,
Have been thinking about this since I took a look at your link...
It may be your Silverlight interface can't find resources, which is pretty easy to do.
i.e. Same XAP in a SL App or SL Web Site.
Take a look at this, just for the heck of it. ;-)
