Question

I am trying to upload my compiled web application to the Internet. I was told that all I need is the dll file which is supposed to go into the bin folder? Is this true or do I need to upload both the dll file and the bin folder?

Also, is there a better way to build so that I don’t have to intermix my image, css, and so on into my project folder? Maybe a way to copy the dll file to a bin folder and all my aspx pages?

I got it to work but it seems like I keep duplicating a bunch of files and I know eventually some problem will arise.

Answer 1

• Right-Click your project and Rebuild
• Right-Click your project and and click publish – I use “Publish to Files to Directory” to verify the right files are copied.
• Locate the published files where you specified on your system
• If you check the bin folder, all your references (.dll) should be inside
• Then upload the content of the published folder onto your site.
