I am working in a website that in production has only the aspx files and the bin directory and files. Any body knows how any ideas how this website was deployed I usually have my websites and I submit the code as well.
My question 2. How can I create a test website in the same server? I already create the test database.
Any suggestion will be appreciated
To deploy only the .aspx files and bin folder contents from Visual Studio, use the menu Build > Publish > keep the checkbox checked for “Allow this precompiled site to be updatable.”
This allows you to make minor changes in the .aspx files (especially the HTML) without having to recompile and redeploy the web application. You can change the .aspx files on the web server.
To create a test website on the same web server, you can just copy the entire website into a new folder and set the virtual directory in IIS.
