ASP.NET Deployment Methods

[jw56578]

what is the technique used to handle this situation:

the method of deployment is to have the developer build the assembly on
his local system, then copy the files to the development server, and
then to the production server.

Developer has been implementing many changes on his local version of
the project.

Developer needs to make small modification to project and push to
production without pushing all the other changes he has already made.

Don't you have a source control mechanism (Source Safe/Subversion)? If you
have one, maintain specific points within the development cycle, and branch
when necessary. This way, you can build any specific milestone or make
changes to it.

 

[jw56578]

yes, source safe is used.
how will the developer access the milestone and edit the source code,
when the modified source code is already on their local box.

 

[Manohar Kamath]

This is more of a Visual SourceSafe question...

You can accomplish the above by getting a specific milestone in the code,
into a whole different directory structure, making your changes and
deploying that.
