How to use web publishing tool?For what reason it is present in Labview? I have seen a tutorial of it and connect it to given address but when I used that address on other PC which is connected with other network,the address does not show any thing. Dec 07, 2010 Totally agree with Venkatesh's recommendation about using Wordpress as a simple CMS. Assuming you do not want the out-of-the-box theme, there are a ton of free WP Themes that you can install that will give you a pre-set look, layout, features.

You can use the Publish tool to import publish settings and then deploy your app. In this article, we use publish settings for IIS, but you can use similar steps to import publish settings for Azure App Service. In some scenarios, use of a publish settings profile can be faster than manually configuring deployment to IIS for each installation of Visual Studio.
These steps apply to ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, and .NET Core apps in Visual Studio.
In this tutorial, you will:
- Configure IIS so that you can generate a publish settings file
- Create a publish settings file
- Import the publish settings file into Visual Studio
- Deploy the app to IIS
A publish settings file (*.publishsettings) is different than a publishing profile (*.pubxml) created in Visual Studio. A publish settings file is created by IIS or Azure App Service, or it can be manually created, and then it can be imported into Visual Studio.
Note
If you just need to copy a Visual Studio publishing profile (*.pubxml file) from one installation of Visual Studio to another, you can find the publishing profile, <profilename>.pubxml, in the <projectname>PropertiesPublishProfiles folder for managed project types. For websites, look under the App_Data folder. The publishing profiles are MSBuild XML files.
Prerequisites
- You must have Visual Studio 2019 installed and the ASP.NET and web development workload.If you haven't already installed Visual Studio, go to the Visual Studio downloads page to install it for free.
- You must have Visual Studio 2017 installed and the ASP.NET and web development workload.If you haven't already installed Visual Studio, go to the Visual Studio downloads page to install it for free.
- On your server, you must be running Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2016, and you must have the IIS Web Server role correctly installed (required to generate the publish settings file (*.publishsettings)). Either ASP.NET 4.5 or ASP.NET Core must also be installed on the server. To set up ASP.NET 4.5, see IIS 8.0 Using ASP.NET 3.5 and ASP.NET 4.5. To set up ASP.NET Core, see Host ASP.NET Core on Windows with IIS.
Create a new ASP.NET project in Visual Studio
- On the computer running Visual Studio, create a new project.Choose the correct template. In this example, choose either ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) or (for C# only) ASP.NET Core Web Application, and then click OK.If you don't see the specified project templates, click the Open Visual Studio Installer link in the left pane of the New Project dialog box. The Visual Studio Installer launches. Install the ASP.NET and web development workload.The project template you choose (ASP.NET or ASP.NET Core) must correspond to the version of ASP.NET installed on the web server.
- Choose either MVC (.NET Framework) or Web Application (Model-View-Controller) (for .NET Core), and make sure that No Authentication is selected, and then click OK.
- Type a name like MyWebApp and click OK.Visual Studio creates the project.
- Choose Build > Build Solution to build the project.
Install and configure Web Deploy on Windows Server
Web Deploy 3.6 for Hosting Servers provides additional configuration features that enable the creation of the publish settings file from the UI.
- If you have Web Deploy 3.6 already installed on Windows Server, uninstall it using Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a Program.
- Next, install Web Deploy 3.6 for Hosting Servers on Windows Server.To install Web Deploy for Hosting Servers, use the Web Platform Installer (WebPI). (To find the Web Platform Installer link from IIS, select IIS in the left pane of Server Manager. Right-click the server and select Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.)In the Web Platform Installer, you find Web Deploy for Hosting Servers in the Applications tab.
- If you did not already install IIS Management Scripts and Tools, install it now.Go to Select server roles > Web Server (IIS) > Management Tools, and then select the IIS Management Scripts and Tools role, click Next, and then install the role.The scripts and tools are required to enable the generation of the publish settings file.
- (Optional) Verify that Web Deploy is running correctly by opening Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Services and make sure that Web Deployment Agent Service is running (the service name is different in older versions).If the agent service is not running, start it. If it is not present at all, go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program, find Microsoft Web Deploy <version>. Choose to Change the installation and make sure that you choose Will be installed to the local hard drive for the Web Deploy components. Complete the change installation steps.
Create the publish settings file in IIS on Windows Server
- Close and reopen the IIS Management Console to show updated configuration options in the UI.
- In IIS, right-click the Default Web Site, choose Deploy > Configure Web Deploy Publishing.
- In the Configure Web Deploy Publishing dialog box, examine the settings.
- Click Setup.In the Results panel, the output shows that access rights are granted to the specified user, and that a file with a .publishsettings file extension has been generated in the location shown in the dialog box.Depending on your Windows Server and IIS configuration, you see different values in the XML file. Here are a few details about the values that you see:
- The msdeploy.axd file referenced in the
publishUrl
attribute is a dynamically generated HTTP handler file for Web Deploy. (For testing purposes,http://myhostname:8172
generally works as well.) - The
publishUrl
port is set to port 8172, which is the default for Web Deploy. - The
destinationAppUrl
port is set to port 80, which is the default for IIS. - If you are unable to connect to the remote host in Visual Studio using the host name (in later steps), test the IP address in place of the host name.NoteIf you are publishing to IIS running on an Azure VM, you must open the Web Deploy and IIS ports in the Network Security group. For detailed information, see Install and run IIS.
- Copy this file to the computer where you are running Visual Studio.
Import the publish settings in Visual Studio and deploy
- On the computer where you have the ASP.NET project open in Visual Studio, right-click the project in Solution Explorer, and choose Publish.
- If you have previously configured any publishing profiles, the Publish pane appears. Click Create new profile.
- In the Pick a publish target dialog box, click Import Profile.
- Navigate to the location of the publish settings file that you created in the previous section.
- In the Import Publish Settings File dialog box, navigate to and select the profile that you created in the previous section, and click Open.Visual Studio begins the deployment process, and the Output window shows progress and results.If you get an any deployment errors, click Settings to edit settings. Modify settings and click Validate to test new settings. If the host name is not found, try the IP address instead of the host name in the Server and Destination URL fields.
After the app deploys successfully, it should start automatically. If it does not start from Visual Studio, start the app in IIS. For ASP.NET Core, you need to make sure that the Application pool field for the DefaultAppPool is set to No Managed Code.
Next steps
In this tutorial, you created a publish settings file, imported it into Visual Studio, and deployed an ASP.NET app to IIS. You may want an overview of other publishing options in Visual Studio.
