Admit it. You always wait until the last minute to work out your deployment strategy. And invariably, it comes back to bite you when the app that worked perfectly on your machine crashes and burns when you push it out to production. The way to eliminate the pain associated with deployments is to make them predictable, repeatable, and automated. Microsoft's latest deployment tool, MSDeploy, along with Visual Studio 2010, can help make this possible for you. We will cover:
-Creating web content packages
-Including database and IIS settings with deployment packages
-Importing and exporting packages
-Integration with a build system
-Using Web.config transforms for different deployments
-Integration with Database Projects
-One Click Publish
