Publishing using MSDeploy In-Process Deployment or Remote Agent Through the Beta 2 release, VS 2010 had only supported publishing to servers using MSDeploy's IIS deployment handler technology integrated with the “Web Management Service”, a.k.a. WMSVC. As long as you had an account on a hosting server using WMSVC, you could use MSDeploy to update your web content. This is the msdeploy technology most people will use when publishing to a hosted site and, therefore, was released first. (In case you are interested in how the server should be configured, check out the link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd722796(WS.10).aspx ) In the RC release of VS 2010, We added support for two more msdeploy technologies that target specific deployment...

In the earlier post I highlighted various investments that we are making in Visual Studio 2010 and IIS to make Web Deployment easier. You can read that post below: Web Deployment with VS 2010 and IIS Deploying a web project with all its correct dependencies is not a trivial task. Some of the assets which need to be considered during deployment are: Web Content (.aspx, .ascx, images, xml files, PDBs, Binaries etc) IIS Settings (Directory browsing, Error pages, Default Documents etc) Databases that the web project uses GAC Assemblies and COM components which the web project depends upon Registry Settings that may be used within the web project Security Certificates App Pools In an enterprise environment a web application with all of its...
Today, deploying a web application is not as easy as it should be. Whether you are deploying your web to a shared hosting environment and paying monthly to maintain it OR whether you have a web server/s managed by your enterprise, there are a lot of manual steps involved in getting your application from point A to point B. If you are deploying your web application to a shared hoster then today you have to use technologies like FTP which take a long time to get your web content to the hosted server. After deploying your content you have to manually go to hoster control panel and install your database by running sql scripts and configure various IIS settings like marking a folder as an application to isolate it from the rest of the application...
As mentioned in our recent blog post on the ASP.NET MVC Release Candidate , our code-generation features (namely, Add Controller and Add View) now use the T4 (Text Template Transformation Toolkit) templating technology behind the scenes. Because users can customize the templates to a great extent, we wanted to make a post to bring everyone up to speed on T4. Template Locations and Template Override The Add Controller and Add View dialogs both perform code generation that use T4 templates behind the scenes. These templates can be modified to customize the generated code from these tools. You can find the templates at the following location: [Visual Studio Install Directory]\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\[CSharp | VisualBasic]\Web\MVC\CodeTemplates...
