Hello, I am a C# desktop app developer who is trying to do an asp web page. The app takes input from the user then does a search of files that reside on the server. I can run it from the development environment and everything works fine. I can not figure out how to publish it and put it on a server 2003 running IIS 7(I think). I purchased Microsoft ASP.NET 4 by George Sheperd, which has a chapter devoted to publishing from vs2010. However being new some of the steps he outlines make no sense to me and some options that I am supost to take are not in the environment. I am looking for some articals or a book that will take me step by step through the process in detail. I have been woriking on this for some time when I have free time at work so I don't remember all of the details. I think I created the project as a web asp.net empty form, then added web forms as needed. I remember the output was suppost to go to file but I am unable to locate where it is going. Any information you can provide on finding information in the development environment or good articles or books would really help. Being older with a bad memory makes the process fustrating. Thanks again, DaveD3

There are various ways to "publish" to a remote web server. Does your hosting provider allow you to upload via FTP? If so, one option is to simply copy the files using an FTP client using the instructions provided by your hosting company.
