how to publish the visual studio asp.net solution?

Question

I have converted my website into the solution, by creating new blank solution and adding existing website in it. Now i want to publish that solution, but it doesn't show me any option of publishing solution.

How can i publish the solution?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Right click on your project file and select publish website. keep in mind that if it asks to delete existing files then it is asking about already published files not the source files. So it is safe to delete prior published files and publish new website, as well as you can change the folder for new published site

Answer 2

You can get some help from the following article: How to deploy ASP.Net Web Application

But just a friendly recommendation that you do a bit of researching yourself before asking questions.

Answer 3

The publish command should be on the web site or web application project rather than on the solution itself.
