earlier this week, as part of MIX09, we launched an official Silverlight team blog. Subscribe now! We’ll push out new technical content, videos, and use it as a venue to respond to critical industry events that require our voice. You can use it as a direct conduit to us and the team with feedback (both good and bad!). We’ll cover our entire UX platform including Expression Studio with a focus on Expression Blend (and the newly announced SkethFlow functionality which has had rave reviews), Silverlight, Visual Studio, and anything else we think is important. Spread the news – http://team.silverlight.net/ I kicked us off with this post: http://team.silverlight.net/announcements/introducing-the-new-silverlight...
Today I want to advance our discussions around Web Deployment in Visual Studio 10… To catch up on the previous discussions in this series check out: Web Deployment with VS 2010 and IIS Web Packaging: Creating a Web Package using VS 2010 Web Packaging: Creating web packages using MSBuild How does Web Deployment with VS 10 & MSDeploy Work? In this post I will focus on installing the MSDeploy based Web Packages to IIS. You can actually install/deploy web packages using multiple different avenues listed below: Using IIS Manager UI Using command file created by Visual Studio 10 Using command line using MSDeploy.exe Using Power Shell support provided by MS Deploy Using managed APIs provided by MS Deploy VS 10 will create Web...
Web Deployment has taken a huge stride in Visual Studio 2010. I have started a blog series where I have written about web deployment, you can read more about them below: Web Deployment with VS 2010 and IIS Web Packaging: Creating a Web Package using VS 2010 Web Packaging: Creating web packages using MSBuild In VS 10 we use MSDeploy behind the scenes to deploy your entire web application along with all of its dependencies like IIS Settings, DB, web content etc to any destination server. MSDeploy is a new technology specially designed to serve the purpose of deploying web applications seamlessly across IIS Servers. My hope is to give you a CONCEPTUAL high level overview to understand how web deployment with VS10 & MSDeploy...
This post is next in the series of VS 2010 articles that we have been putting together to dive into the Web Deployment improvements with VS 2010 and IIS. I would recommend reading the the preceding posts to get an overview of all the scenarios supported: Web Deployment with VS 2010 and IIS Web Packaging: Creating a Web Package using VS 2010 In this post I will cover web package creation using MSBuild command line. Many medium to large sized teams plan on automating their build process for various good reasons like predictability for QA team, time saving as compared to on-demand manual build, early bug detection with Build Verification Tests (BVTs), knowing the current state of project integration, etc… Many argue that setting up...
The IIS team has just shipped the Microsoft Application Request Routing 1.0 module for IIS7!!! Application Request Routing (ARR) enables Web server administrators and hosting providers and to increase Web application reliability and scalability through rule-based routing and load balancing of HTTP server requests.

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...
