WebPages Publish

This lesson is part of ASP · All levels

Summary

Publish means uploading the results of a Web Page project from a developer's computer to a web server so that it can be publicly accessible. The process can be done via Web Publish from Visual Studio, WebMatrix, or manual transfer via FTP to hosting. Before publishing, make sure the production configurations such as connection strings and debug mode are set correctly.

Key points

Publish moves project files to the hosting server via Web Deploy, FTP, or control panel.
The setting in the production should be differentiated from the development environment.
Mode debugging should be turned off on the production server so that the error details are not leaked.
The production connection strings are stored in the server configuration, not hard-coded.
