Does Visual Studio for Mac Preview have Web Deploy? - webdeploy

I am new to using a Mac and trying to setup a coworking to publish a shared .net core web app so that it publishes to the azure account. I have downloaded the azure publishing profile but do not see Publish or Web Deploy in the GUI. How do I deploy the app to azure?

There is an option to publish to Azure directly from Visual Studio for Mac.

How to start a released Asp.net Core project?

I'm an asp.net developer and recently trying to archive asp.net-core.
Since it's quite new, I would like to ask, how do you launch a asp.net-core project in a Windows machine?
For normal asp.net, my approach is publishing the project using Visual Studio, bring everything to a Windows machine, use IIS to create a website and point the directory to my physical file.
How about a website that created by asp.net-core?
Do I need to install asp.net-core in server machine? (i don't prefer this)
What should I do with the published file? There are two folders generated after publishing the project:
netcoreapp1.0
PublishOutput
Well, you still can use the file system mechanism to publish an ASP.NET Core project from Visual Studio. But VS uses the dotnet CLI under the hood to do the same stuff. Usually you configure your deployment depending upon your hosting environment such as Windows Server and Linux Server.
For Windows Server
You have to install ASP.NET Core Module in order to publish on IIS successfully. This will also install .NET Core SDK. You can than have the advantages of SSL Terminations and others provided by IIS on Windows Server.
For Linux
You have to use the .NET Core SDK here as well for a published app to acquire the .NET Core runtime (This is why you get those 2 folders). You use Nginx or HAProxy to get all SSL Terminations, Port-Forwarding etc.

Can i deploy a WiX setup using the Microsoft ClickOnce technology?

I have a Wix setup created for my windows form application and i have a server to publish it . Earlier projects were published using ClickOnce application. Can i do that with my Wix setup too where the setup created would be integrated with the clickonce application. The user will click on the url and it will download only the setup.exe and when clicked on it , it will install the application according to the setting done in wix. I dont even know if the question is correct.
You cannot do that.
"ClickOnce application is any Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Forms, or console application published using ClickOnce technology. You can publish a ClickOnce application in three different ways: from a Web page, from a network file share, or from media such as a CD-ROM."

Azure Storage Not Showing in Visual Studio 2015 Server Explorer

I've installed Visual Studio 2015 and cloned a repo from my Visual Studio Online account. Originally the code was written with Visual Studio 2013 and with that environment I could see my Azure Storage Account (i.e. Tables, Queues and Blobs) under the Azure connection section on the Server Explorer. However with Visual Studio 2015 I can see the Azure connection section which includes App Service, Mobile Service, Notification Hubs and SQL Database but no Storage.
Any ideas?
I ran into the same problem. I decided to upgrade to the latest as of now Azure SDK 2.7. This fixed my server explorer panel and also added in a new panel called Cloud Explorer. This will hopefully get you going. Here is the link:

How do I manually deploy a .NET MVC app to AWS via Elastic Beanstalk

I'm trying to deploy a simple Hello World ASP.NET MVC 4 app to an free tier EC2 instance using elastic beanstalk. I'm using Visual Web Developer Express (2010) which doesn't support the AWS Toolkit extensions, so how do I deploy the site without the extension?
It seems that with the Elastic Beanstalk web console, you can upload a file as a new applicaiton. But I can't figure out what's supposed to be in the file. Is it a zip containing a published mvc app? I tried that, and when navigating to the instance after it loaded it just displayed the IIS 8 logo. There's a sample zip on a walkthrough page, but it's an old ASP.NET page with 3 xml files in the root. I have no idea what to change in those files for MVC, .NET 4, Server 2012, or IIS 8. I can't find this information anywhere.
I tried creating some EC2 instances manually, remoting in and deploying the site myself. However the free Windows Server 2008 images don't have .NET 4. And the free Windows Server 2012 image doesn't have IIS... I couldn't figure out how to actually deploy my site.
The command line tool that's called by the AWS Toolkit extension can be used manually. Here is the documentation I found on deploying using this tool.
You have to publish your site as a Web Deploy Package in Visual Studio. Then use the tool located in Windows by default at
C:\Program Files (x86)\AWS Tools\Deployment Tool>awsdeploy.exe
You have to pass it a text file that contains the deployment configuration. There's a template for the file at
C:\Program Files (x86)\AWS Tools\Deployment Tool\Samples\ElasticBeanstalkDeploymentSample.txt
The first time I used the tool, deploying the package archive generated by Visual Studio, I still got the plain IIS 8 landing page. However, when I did an incremental deployment, which is done via an extracted version of the archive being pushed to the server, it worked fine.

Develop sharepoint software without having local sharepoint installation

Is there anyway to develop sharepoint projects without having sharepoint server installed locally. I have a sharepoint server running at my work and vs2010 installed locally. I want to be able to test my projects on the server.
You develop them locally but without SharePoint installed you cant test them. Microsoft Offers no free version of SharePoint Server, so you have to be able to use a licensed copy of SharePoint to test on it. I just use a Remote Desktop Connection to connect to my DEV machine that has SP installed on and Visual Studio. I then develop my app then test, and then it gets deployed to our SharePoint Farm.
Yes, it is possible. You just need to build wsp and then deploy it on a SharePoint server. I hope, this links will help you:
