I'm developing my first ASP.NET applications and can't seem to find a "How to" for deploying it. In ASP it was a cake walk - just copy the files and use GLOBAL.ASA to do the site specific stuff. Has anyone figured out the best way to deploy .NET projects yet? Is there a short list I can follow somewhere?<BR><BR>Thanks!dude, way easy, just copy the folder.I know I can copy the folder but that means I have to manually edit all the aspxs etc to reflect database changes etc. In ASP, i'd setup connection strings/pwds etc and change them in one place. I think the global.asax file is the same but I thought I had to create a setup/deployment project etc....Did you ever figure this out? I tried today to just copy the application folder to another machine, like I would have for a classic asp app. I got an error in the Web.config file:<BR>"it is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."<BR><BR>Thanks<BR><BR>Masmith<BR><BR><BR>Yup, I gotr this working but I had to add keys to the web.config file. In addition, If you are installing you app on a domain controller you have to change a line in the machine.config file let me know if you need some examples.<BR><BR>[email protected] into same error today. Debugg stop at <authentication mode="Windows"> with "a virtual directory not being configured as an application in iis" in webConfig on remote server. Any help greatly appreciated.<BR><BR>Mroot
