Loading ASP.NET application to DiscountASP.net

[MikeMCSD]

I'm going to be transfering my asp.net application to
the ISP DiscountASP.net. Is it possible to just copy over
all the files instead of using Visual Studio to do it?
They give you an option to use VS but you must have
Front Page extensions enabled first.
I'd rather just copy them over than using VS.
Has anyone have experience with this?
Thanks!

Sure, you can just FTP the files. That's how I handle my publishes.

Take all .aspx files, everything in the /bin folder that isn't a .pdb file, your global.asa file, and your web.config. That should be all that your app needs to run, but if you're worried that you may not get it all, you can use the copy project feature of VS to have it copy all files needed and then just FTP the entire contents of that folder. You can find that under Project --> Copy.

thanks paul . . .
yeah, it was pretty easy using FTP and I got the
app running. Even installing the SQL Server database
was painless.

But I moved the pdf file with the other file in
the Bin folder. Should I delete that pdf file?
Is that a debugging file?
Thanks

You mean the .pdb file? That's the symbol file (stands for "Program Database"), used by the debugger. You shouldn't send it.

Also - you did copy the binaries from the \bin\release directory, right?

thanks Chip,
I don't have a \bin\release directory.
All I have is \bin with the project .pdb file in it
and a SecurityLib.dll that I use for encryption.
Am I missing something? I never saw a \release folder.
