You are missing some fundamentals of how SharePoint development and deployment differs from ASP.NET. You create SharePoint Solution Packages in (.WSP) in Visual Studio and deploy them to the server using the STSADM tool. Alternately you can deploy web parts to the BIN using more traditional techniques of copying the files and modifying the web.comfig on the server but in the long run it is worth your time to understand how to create solution packages.
Here is an article and video to get you started: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb466225.aspx
The author of the article Ted Pattison is the author of a book called “Inside Windows SharePoint Services 3.0”. It is considered one of top books for SharePoint development and you can usually find it used online very cheap, I would highly reccomend picking up a copy.
He is also the author of the excellent deployment tool STSDev which can be found on CodePlex. I would suggest taking some time to understand the deployment process before using tools like STSDev, WSPBuilder or SPVisualDev, because while the tools are good, and relieve much of the tedious stuff involved with SP development, they do not handle all scenarios and eventually you will find yourself needing the fundamentals to create flexibility the tools don’t provide.
