Updated Utility: WebDeploy

Published 31 July 04 04:13 PM | mhawley

I've updated WebDeploy this morning to fix several outstanding bugs that have come up since 1.2. This 1.2.1 version includes nothing new, but fixes the following:

  • Fixed application showing in Alt-Tab list when minimized to system tray.
  • Fixed error being thrown when no file masks are selected to be deleted.
  • Fixed ability of users with HyperThreading P4 processors to run application. Hack around bug in .NET framework.
  • Fixed a few minor items.

So, make sure you get the latest version here.

Thats odd that you had some problems with the Hyper Threaded P4. I've been running WebDeploy on one since the beginning and I've never had any problems.

Is there a forum for web deply somewhere?

Two things:
In the 'Files able to Copy' dialog (after clicking Deploy on main form), the 'Last Modified' sort needs a custom sort, since a text based sort for dates does not work as expected.

For some reason, I keep getting a 'Failure traversing the FTP Directory.' error message. Any thoughts.

I'll get a forum setup on my website. However, can you use the bug submission to submit both your ideas? This way I can keep track of them, and help you solve your ftp failure.

Ahhh, I cannot say how much this program rocks! Keep up the awesome work! Now if only I could come up with something this cool.

Is it possible to use the WebDeploy by vbproj option and have it include the \bin directory?

# Matt Hawley said on August 4, 2004 03:55 PM:

Its on the list.

I just had this happen. I was deploying an app and I notice some image files that should not go out. I hit cancel and the app said it was deleteing the backup file (which it never made) and hung up until I killed it.

Its a minor glitch, I love this thing. Thank you for writing it.

I tried it, but for some reason it doesn't pick up the dlls (yes, I selected the file extension :). I assume this isn't correct behaviour! It does take some other files from the bin directory (there was some xml doc files as it's a dev site).

I also tried putting them in the root directory to copy from, but no success. Am I doing something horribly wrong here?!

Hope not, cause it looks a great utility.

Make sure that you aren't defining file extensions anymore, but rather file masks. So, make sure that your "DLL" is set as *.dll

# Peter Johnston said on August 5, 2004 01:36 PM:

Stupid me for not noticing, yes it's .dll not *.dll. But wouldn't it be better to have *.dll in the first place as the basic profile, as are the other types (using v1.2.1)?

# Matt Hawley said on August 5, 2004 01:38 PM:

Its fully customizable, and with a fresh install you'll notice that *.dll is included as one of the defaults.

# Peter Johnston said on August 5, 2004 01:51 PM:

I know, already added *.asmx, but on the install (just redid to check) ".dll" is the default, not "*.dll" for "quick deploy profile".

Anyway, great program, thanks - passing it round the other developers here already.

Noted, found, logged, and fixed. Thanks for pointing that out, sometimes it can just slip right by.
