Publishing a website from VS2005

grahamor

So i finally upgraded to Visual Studio 2005. I just opened a project that was done in 2003 and converted it. All went well with the conversion.

I used to have a dll in the bin folder called ftrWeb.dll. This has now dissappeared and the only ones in there are for premade controls im using (i.e. ajax controls).

I want to publish this project to a live server but i think i need the ftrWeb.dll file to make everything work !!

I know there is a feature called publish website but im really not sure what to do or how that works.

Thanks for any help.

Publish website will push the site to the webserver and compile it for you..

Is the DLL missing from the bin folder? I am guesiing that the project wont compile at the moment. Copy the DLL in and reference it in the add references for the project... Recompile and check it and then publish

thanks Ginger, that worked great.

Im still a bit confused by all these randomly named dll's in my bin folder.

Ginger

Such as... the BIN folder contains all references used by the project so that you dont have to install them to the server
