Can we package and publish a website using webdeploy

In Visual Studio, is it necessary to convert a website into Web Application project for Web Deploy to work?

It's not possible to publish a website created in Visual Studio 2010 unless it's a Web Application project.

File based web projects created using File -> New -> Web Site... or Shift+Alt+N (assuming you haven't changed the keystrokes) can only be published using FrontPage extensions when publishing to http://www.mysite.com.

So yes, you need to convert your "web site" project to a "Web Project" to be able to publish using Web Deploy.
