Deploying Web site project with web deploy
This discussion is public.

Hi, I have a Visual Basic Web Site project that I am trying to deploy with Web Deploy. I have the option to package for web deploy enabled but no artifacts are being produced from the build. I have a feeling because it is a web site project instead of a web app project i need to take additional steps. Please advise. Thanks!

Hi James,
You are correct, Web Application packaging works only if Visual Studio project is “Web Application”. For your case you need to package all website files as a single Zip file. Simplest way is add folder with all site assets as a path to artefact and name this artefact. Then use Web Deploy with this artifact.
We documented very similar approach for node website, please take a look:

Please let us know if it helps.
Thank you,
Ilya.
