Hi all I am very new to visual studio 2005 and building web Applications and need some help. We have an existing web application (C#) that was created in visual studio 2003 and we have been given the source code. However we are now using VS 2005.
We now need to develop this application further by add a couple of more web pages to the project and some fairly simple database functionally to it
We converted the project to 2005 using the wizard, but following the conversion we are getting errors because references to Crystal Reports 9 still exist in the project , but obviously we dont have the Crystal Reports 9 assemblies anymore as VS 2005 uses Crystal Reports 10, so it throws out errors. It also doesn’t update the web.config file or the dependencies (assemblies) with the relevant v.10 equivalent. (We have kept a copy of the original 2003 source incidentally if we need to revert)
There are also some warnings following the conversion
But the biggest problem I am having is understanding the concepts of compiling, building & publishing!!
Can someone explain to me simple terms what the process is exactly for building/compiling a web application?
What is meant by Build Solution, Build Website, Rebuild Solution, Rebuild Website etc etc??? And what exactly are the differences between building and publishing?
Do we build the solution first, then the website and then publish??? I don’t get it. Can someone break down the steps in layman terms, or provide a very simple example.
Also how do compile/build the application so that a DLL is built? As we want to then package the application so that can be installed/deployed on a remote sever?
Thanks
