wrapping up an asp.net page and styling the page

[csdewan]

Hi all,

Got two questions. First is whats the best way to build a asp.net application so that i can put it in to iis for testing. i.e are there just a few files i need to take with the page or is it better to wrap it all up?

The other question whst is the best way to style up an asp.net page. Should i open the page in something like dreamweaver to give it some graphics and style on the page or can this all be done in visual studio.

Thanks

u developed this in VS? then u have to package all the ASPX files and DLL files

use dreamweaver for designing dude, its way better than the VS environment(VS 2003) for designing HTML...

Will style it up in dreamweaver.

yeah im using VS. I go to build the application but not sure what i should be doing. Where does it go. Does it create another file in the

http://wwwroot.

Is there a certain way in which i should build the application in vs any help would be great.

Thanks.

build it in the normal way. for delivering it there are two modes:
--> Create a setup. But this will work in systems only in whic u have permissions to run it. in a shared hosting environment it may not be possible.

--> Simply distribute the ASPX files, and the DLL files in the BIN folder

>>Where does it go. Does it create another file in the

http://wwwroot.

the only copy is kept in the

http://wwwroot

(unless u r using VSS or other source control softwares).

whenever u create an ASPX file in VS 2003 it creates 3 files:
--> ASPX file
--> VB file
--> RESX file

the last 2 files are only required for VS (if u r not using VS then they may be required). once u complie the project its enough if u distribute the ASPX files and DLL files...
