Adding a New Deployment Target
In the Microsoft development environment, you can set up one or more deployment targets that describe your application configuration in its deployed state on a Web server.
There are two deployment services available to a deployment target: Web Content, Controls & Applets and Server-Side Components. As a service, Web Content, Controls & Applets handles components that run in the Web browser. The Server-Side Components service handles components that run on the Web server itself.
Note Only a Web server configured for server-side components contains the Server Components service in the Web server's Deployment Target node in the Deployment Explorer.
To add a new deployment target
Open your solution.
On the Project menu, click New Deployment Target.
In the New Deployment Target dialog box, specify the URL of the target Web server in the Deploy to URL box. For example, you could enter "http://MyWebServer/SubDirectory".
Select any project output files you want added to the Web Contents,Controls & Applets service node. You can add files or outputs to the Server Components service node later in the Deployment Explorer, if your Web server is configured for server-side components.
Click OK.
