I have a MVC 4 application and runs well on my local machine.
What do I have to do further in Visual Studio 2012 to run my website in web server?
Do I have to make some files by VS 2012 to deploy a website in web server?
You don't need to do anything specific in Visual Studio.
Make sure you have .net 4.0 and MVC installed on your server.
Configure your app pool to be the same architecture as your Webapp(x86, x64).
Change your web.config
Create a virtual directory/application on your ISS.
Configure authentication options of your app(probably you will need anonymous and forms)
When you publish/build your website you can just copy the entire content to your IIS directory and it should work.

I have a VB.net app developed before 2010 with visual web developer express 2008. The app is running with IIS 7 (.NET framework 2.0) on MS server 2008. Without changing code in vb.net app, is there a way I can enable ssl with only configuration of IIS7? I can add https to IIS and generate my CA. I don't have visual studio and can not use VS for ssl.
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.
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 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,

I have to modify an ASP.NET Web Forms application which is currently on production on a Windows Server 2003 in II6.
The problem is that I didn't develop the application and there is not anymore the Visual Studio solution used to develop the application. Moreover the application lies under a website where other applications are running and the connection strings are stored in the global web config file.
I want to modify the application without compromising the version that is actually online.
How can I bring the production version back into a solution file? Many thanks
