Webapplication Upgrade

[NeilV]

Hello,

I have created a web application in Visual Studio 2003 and I have deployed it on our webserver without any problems. However, it has since been necessary for me to make a few changes to the application. Is there an easy way for me to apply these changes to the application on the webserver or do I have to create a new deployment package and re-install the whole thing?

I realise that this may not be in the correct forum as its not directly related to c#.

Any help would be appreciated,

Neil

Hi neil

You can redeploy your web app at any time just by copying the altered files over to the production server. To deploy a .NET web app you only really need your .aspx pages, the bin directory, web.config and any resources used (images, css,js etc). You don't need any .cs, .vb, .resx files at all!

An easy way to deploy an application from Visual Studio is to use the copy project option in the project menu. You select the location you wish to copy the files to in the dialog and hey presto. There is also a check box to only copy the files you need to run the app gettign visual studio to do the work for you.
