I have successfully published using Visual Studio 2008 here on discountASP.net, but I cannot do so in Visual Studio 2010, despite following the instructions found here: http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a792/how-do-i-deploy-visual-studio-2010-web-application.aspx Anybody else? Notice the weird "Error 1" below. Why is stuff being added (automatically) at *** ?site=http: ***? [https://web707.discountasp.net:8172/MsDeploy.axd?site=http:] The Visual Studio 2010 tool input was only up to and not including the question mark, i.e. stopping at "axd". Anybody else see this? Below is the error I get. Here is the information I input into Visual Studio 2010 "Publish" screen: Service URL: http://MYCOMPANYNAME.web707.discountasp.net/HiWorldVS10_06082010 //The stuff: HiWorldVS10_06082010 is my folder on DiscountASP where the app is to go.

It works with FTP rather than web publish... Yes, I've done this before (since I've published successfully with Visual Studio 2008). But I did it again just now...and again I get failure. Have others had problems? It might be that discountasp.net is more set up with VS2008 rather than VS2010. Maybe this IIS7 manager is more for the earlier VS rather than the latest version? Can customer service deal with this, or is this the best forum for asking this question? I also want to tell you that I'm very happy with DASP so far. Very pleased, and even if VS2010 publish does not work, VS2008 does, and for now that's good enough. But I want to eventually get this to work. UPDATE: I used the procedure for FTP rather than Web Publish and it works, see here: http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a789/how-do-i-deploy-visual-studio-2010-web-application.aspx I'm happy it works using FTP and all's well that ends well.

The error looks like you are using the wrong username / password. Are you able to connect through IIS Manager using the same credential?

Thanks!!
Followup If you convert your entire site to ASP. NET 4.0, you can publish from inside Visual Studio 2010, but then my Visual Studio 2008 apps break. However, this is not the fault of DASP. What I probably will end up doing is buying another account and use that for Visual Studio 2010 development. Such is the price of "progress"!
...I'm curious, we have always needed to fudge the solution file when VS projects are upgraded. Is that still the case? Can the solution file be edited to make this work?
