Summary

In this chapter you've looked at all the options for deploying an ASP.NET 2.0 site, either on a local IIS server or to a remote production site. The new ASP.NET compilation model enables you do use a simple XCOPY deployment that includes everything but lacks protection of source code and takes a little time to compile upon the first page request. If that's a problem for you, you can use the command-line tools and the Visual Studio wizards to pre-compile the site and generate one or more assemblies to deploy. Different options for different needs: This new model is very flexible, and everyone will find something they like! This brings us to the end of our journey. I hope you like what you have read, and I wish you happy coding!
