Is it possible in ASP.NET MVC to display a downtime page when publishing a project out to a server?
Right now, if I hit the page while I am publishing I get an error:
Could not load type "App.MvcApplication"
It would be awesome if we could setup a downtime page so that users know to come back at a later time, instead of thinking that the app is busted.
You could add an
app_offline.htmpage to your application root, traffic will be redirected to that page until you remove or rename it.More info
