How do I compile/build and deploy?

[Guest]

Hello,

I’m developing my first ASP.NET website with Visual Studio.NET 2002 (It’s
also the first time I’m using VS.NET as well). I’m utilising both ASP.NET and
VB.NET. I have completed the first stage of the website. I now need to get
the first cut of this website running on another machine so that I can demo
it. This will be running on a PC with XP Professional (with standard
settings) and Microsoft IIS 5.1 (the standard web server that comes with XP
Professional).

What I desperately need to know is, how do I do this?

Till now I have been going to the ‘Debug’ menu and choosing the ‘Start
Without Debugging’ menu item to run the website.

But what do I do next so that I can demo the website on another machine? Do
I build/compile the application first and how? And then how do I deploy this
website on the other machine? Also this other machine do I need to install
any other software or make any setting changes so that it can run an ASP.NET
website? Please help I have been reading a number of resource and I’m very
confused. I have read some things about XCOPY etc but I’m really confused.

Thanks in advance,
George.
