An example of packaging web application containing database upgrade SQL file
A few months ago, we have a blog talking about extending the web publishing pipeline to package database project deployed SQL file. In this blog, I’ll show step by step example of packaging web application with SQL Server database upgrade SQL file using Visual Studio 2010. This way, we can generate a web package with incremental SQL script to certain database version. The scenario may help distributions of a web upgrade package which needs to be installed on many different locations, each with their own SQL server database. 1. Create a Web Application Project 2. Add a new “SQL Server 2...

A practical example of using web application deployment package with IIS7
When a zip package is built from VS2010 web application UI (via Build Deployment Package command), or through command line (msbuild myproject.csproj /t:package), a few files are generated in the destination folder. Here’s some brief description: It’s very common to deploy our package to a IIS7 virtual application under Default Web Site. Since web deploy can generate a virtual application if it’s not exist, we can use the following options:1. Manually import the zip file from IIS manager and change the “Application Path” in the “Import Application Package” Wizar...
In-Proc SxS and Migration Quick Start
This post is meant to help you understand what runtime in-process side-by-side is, how to think about it, how to use it, and how it affects application and component migration to the .NET 4 Runtime.

The problem Prior to the .NET 4 Runtime, any given process was limited to loading only one runtime vers...
