Great stuff Scott. One little thing - might I suggest that you talk to the ownwer of the "MSDN Authoring Template" and suggest that page numbers be added to the template :)

Thanks.

First , thanks for your informative articles Scott; you've helped me tremendously.

Secondly, Is there a solution for having the build number auto increment? Quite handy for the testers.

Thanks,
Nathan

hi,

Any option to include XML documentation?  It seems to be missing from the default VS 2005 gui for web projects.

Cheers,

Hi Adam,

VS 2005 Web Application Projects support XML documentation.  VS 2005 Web Site Projects don't -- but if you migrate to a web application project you will be all set.

Details on how to migrate a web site project to be a web application project can be found here: http://webproject.scottgu.com

Hope this helps,

Scott

I've found a MAJOR issue with this. It applies to using Profiles. The full description is here: http://forums.l-space-design.com/blogs/day_of_the_developer/archive/2006/08/12/223.aspx But basically. When using the web depployment project to create a single DLL. HostEnvironment.IsHosted = true So BuildManager.GetProfileType() is called. that returns _profileType But BuildManager.CodeAssemblies and _profileType (among others) are never initialised. So you get an ArgumentNullException on Activator.CreateInstance when retrieving profiles. I think IsHosted is correct, and the problem is that CompileCodeDirectory (which sets those two variables) is either never called, or fails.

As a new addendum. If the bin directory contains: App_Code.compiled It works. That means "Web Deployment" uncheck "Treat as library component" But that's not going to help if I need to merge this set of code with another set on the same website unless you can merge multiple versions of that file into a single file.

I was able to get it to change the confSource for the connectionStrings section with no problem, but I am having trouble doing the same with the customErrors section. Is this because it is not at the root level like connectionStrings is? Is there a work around for this? Thanks in advance

Hi Rich,

Can you send me an email with the syntax you are trying to use for the customErrors section?

Thx!

Scott

G'day all, Looks really impressive - is there any way to implement this in Visual Web Developer Express? Or is it only available to the full blown Vis Studio? Cheers Tm.

Never mind me...I just read the fine print at the bottom of the msdn download link: "Note: Web Deployment Projects are not supported in Visual Web Developer Express Edition." :P Cheers anyway tm

Has the WDP broken Profile issue been fixed with the new SP1 of visual studio?

# re: Visual Studio 2005 Web Deployment Project support available for Download

Saturday, January 06, 2007 6:26 PM by ScottGu

Hi Joshua,

If you generate the app_code.compiled file, then you shouldn't have a problem using the Profile API with a web deployment project.

Thanks,

Scott

I know but i wish to upload multiple dll's to the same bin folder and dont want to generate the app_code.compiled file.  I want the box "checked"

Ok, so i see we can merge the whole website to a single dll, or multiple dlls by folder or each page.  so if i want to finish a website, and make some pages/controls editable with source code, and others not(by just using the dll), is this a possibilty? or is it an all or nothing deal, which it seems at first glance? thanks!
