What are the files to upload to Web Server for a ASP.NET MVC web site

I have created a ASP.NET MVC site and now I need to upload it to web hosting server, for that do I have to upload whole project or only selected set of files & folders. If so what are the folders and files should I upload to the web server?

Just right-click the project in Visual Studio and select Publish... This will publish the required files to a folder from where you can upload them.

A couple of points to note.

  • Set the build config to Release before running Publish. This substitutes in the values in your Web.Release.config file which sets debug to false by default but you can also put in server connection strings and other production settings.

  • Some dll's which are required will not be included in the Publish folder by default. To include a Referenced dll select it in the Reference folder and set its Copy Local property to True. It is a bit hit and miss figuring out which dlls are not on your server and need to be manually added..
