I'm actually done doing the small-scale application for our office, however, I really don't have any idea how to deploy this one. Can someone provide me any links on how to do this? This project will be deployed in one pc.
If its a Windows application you need to create a setup project.
If its a web based application, install your application on your web server and provide clients with the appropriate link.

I have the source code of an windows service which is written in VB.NET
I came through various methods to debug this service using development environment (Visual Studio). But the challenge is, I need to deploy it in one of our servers as other application on that server need to access it. The server doesn't contain any development or debug tools. I am not allowed to install visual studio in it.
Is there any other way to debug the windows service on this server?
My intention is to understand the method call hierarchy, as this is a very complex code and I didn't write it. It has a very complex architecture and it is not possible to track the data flow only by looking at it.
If the only restriction is you can't install Visual Studio, I'd suggest you get the Remote Tools for VS 2012, which don't even need to be installed to the server, just a machine with a share accessible from the server. Then follow the instructions.
I am newer to Visual Studio 2012 and MVC4, and have a development project of a website using C# and MVC4 and SQL server 2012.
The Publish using web deploy works for the website portion of the project, but it does not automatically update the database portion (schema). If I right click the database portion of the project in VS2012 and click Publish, then the database schema is updated properly. I am only interested in schema updates. What could be wrong?
I programmed my development system to use Web Deploy 3.0. Here is a summary of my configuration:
Computer running win8 x64
SQL Express 2012 as my database server, running as the default instance (i.e. at localhost, NOT as .\SQLEXPRESS)
IIS Express 8 as my webserver, using the "Default Web Site" site (localhost)
Visual Studio 2012 Pro using MVC4 and C#
Web Deploy 3.0
The latest dates are all applied to the software
I programmed an SQL server user WDeployAdmin for managing the database updates and gave it full permissions over the database being used for the website. I also tried using Integrated Security (my administrator login) but that does not help.
I can correctly update the Default Web Site (views and controllers etc) using the Publish feature in VS2012 which uses Web Deploy 3.0.
When I use the Test Connection feature of the publishing setup options, it correctly connects to the database, and that certainly works fine when I do a separate Publish DB operation (right-click DB project, click Publish, and then pick my profile) for that part of my project.
So why doesn't the standard website Publish feature include the database schema updates? The standard website Publish always shows an empty change to database when the schema changes (e.g. a table or a stored procedure).
I have read through much MS docs but nothing is apparent to me.
Any help is appreciated,

Perhaps this was asked before but I can't find a whole lot on this, so I would appreciate some help.
Our architecture is as follows: Win 7 desktop on a domain with VS 2010. MS Sql server R2 on Win Server 2008 R2 Ent; SharePoint 2007 on Win 2003; SharePoint 2010 on Win 2008 R2 Ent; Visual Sourcesafe on yet another separate Win Server 2008 R2 Ent server. On this server I have just installed TFS and was running Advanced Config Wizard.
As I'm new to TFS all my selected options are based on intuition and perhaps common sense but Reporting Services and SharePoint aren't working. With reporting services after I add my sql server name (and I've tried IP address and dns name) neither the Report Server URL nor Report Manager URL is populated. (Note: What do I need reporting services for anyway?)
So I've opted not to use reporting services, which as I said, I don't know what is the benefit of it.
Next, in the SharePoint configuration, I wanted to use the existing SharePoint farm which is installed on a separate servers. Testing the Site and Administration URLs would throw an error: "The following site could not be accessed. ... Either ... not installed the Team Foundation Server Extensions, or Firewall... "
I suspect it is not the firewall so then the TFS Extensions. Having search that topic as well seems to point back to the TFS's configuration, so I'm a completely at a loss.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Risho

Edited: I was looking at this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dd631915.aspx but I don't have the options listed in the step-by-step solution. TFS Admin Console has this: Top tear - server name, below is Application Tear then Proxy Server, build Configuration and Logs. Expanding Application Tear shows Team Project Collections, SharePoint Web Applications, Reporting, and Lab Management.
You have to configure the SharePoint extensions on each SharePoint machine you wish to connect to TFS. Install TFS on whichever SharePoint machine (or both, if you plan to use both). In the configuration wizard, you should have the option to configure SharePoint Extensions. Once done, you should be able to re-run the readiness checks in the Advanced Wizard on your Application Tier machine.
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:

Is it possible to use SSL with Visual Studio Development Server (a.k.a. Web Application project)? I don't want to have to deploy IIS locally if possible. I'm running Windows 7.
NOTE: I've seen this (http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/354576/add-https-support-to-visual-studio-asp-net-development-server) but I was still hoping there was a workaround.
It cannot be done with VS 2008, so I've simply resorted to deploying my app to the local IIS as part of the start process with a generated cert.
We can use IIS Express with VS 2010 to develope and test web apps in SSL. Here is a complete article explaning how to use IIS Express and Visual Studion 2010 to develope websites in SSL

this subject was covered here and it say's, you actually can't.
But you might take a look at this link, which might prove the contrary: (See link in comment, i'm not yet able to post more then 1 link per post ...doh)
Hope this helps.
It can be done in VS2010, I'm not sure if VS2008 supports the following approach. Configure Visual Studio to use use Microsoft IIS Express instead of the web server built in to Visual Studio.
