I have created a ASP.NET MVC site and now I need to upload it to web hosting server, for that do I have to upload whole project or only selected set of files & folders. If so what are the folders and files should I upload to the web server?
Just right-click the project in Visual Studio and select Publish… This will publish the required files to a folder from where you can upload them.
A couple of points to note.
Set the build config to Release before running Publish. This
substitutes in the values in your Web.Release.config file which sets
debug to false by default but you can also put in server connection
strings and other production settings.
Some dll’s which are required will not be included in the Publish
folder by default. To include a Referenced dll select it in the
Reference folder and set its Copy Local property to True. It is a bit
hit and miss figuring out which dlls are not on your server and need
to be manually added..
