Hi,
If you have a web site ready on your local machine, you can publish it through Visual Studio 2005.
You can publish it to any location that you have access to on the local computer or on a network that is using any connection protocol that is supported by Visual Web Developer. You have the following options for copying the Web site:
* Use a UNC share to copy to a shared folder that is on another computer on the network.
* Use FTP to copy to a server.
* Use the HTTP protocol to copy to a server that supports FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions from Microsoft.
You can publish the Web site to the remote Web site using HTTP or FTP, the Target Location box is where you would specify the remote server URL.
To publish the Web site, do this:
1. On the Build menu, click Publish Web Site. The Publish Web Site dialog box appears.
2. In the Target Location box, enter the server's IP address along with the FTP user login details.
Remember that any data in the target folder and its subfolders will be deleted. Make sure that you do not type the name of a folder that contains data or contains subfolders with data.
The '
Allow this precompiled site to be updatable' option specifies that all program code is compiled into assemblies, but that .aspx files (including single-file ASP.NET Web pages) are copied as-is to the target folder.
3. Click OK.
Visual Web Developer precompiles the contents of the Web site and writes the output to the folder that you specified. The Output window displays progress messages. If an error occurs during compilation, it is reported in the Output window.
4. If errors occur during publishing, fix the errors, and then repeat step 1.
