In Visual Studio, is it necessary to convert a website into Web Application project for Web Deploy to work?
It’s not possible to publish a website created in Visual Studio 2010 unless it’s a Web Application project.
File based web projects created using
File -> New -> Web Site...orShift+Alt+N(assuming you haven’t changed the keystrokes) can only be published using FrontPage extensions when publishing tohttp://www.mysite.com.So yes, you need to convert your “web site” project to a “Web Project” to be able to publish using Web Deploy.
