I have a ASP.Net web application. I want to publish it to the Windows host. But I am not sure if I can do this. When I try to publish a Web Site it is ok but a Web Application ?
If I can not, is there a way to turn the web application to a web site in Visual Studio. Because when I try to copy the files of ASP.Net web application into an ASP.Net web site I get too many errors that I dont understand half.
Thanks for any respose.
You can right click the web application in visual studio -> click publish -> follow the gui ( I usually just publish it to a folder on my desktop). Then, you simply upload the files in generated directory to the site root of your hosting site. You can usually just do this via the ftp site that the hosting company gives you. You do want to make sure that the hosting site has the correct version of .NET installed and enabled for the application pool you are using. That is usually all there is to it.
If you receive errors about missing dependencies, you will have to take that up with the provider.
