Web Deployment project Notes

Overview¶

Web Deployment will let you build a project, and replace sections in the web.config file. It also has built in tasks for pre/post build, so you can do things like zip up a file, and even install virtual directories for IIS.

It is being used in building the genericODWs, and in addition to a clean "release" build, will be used to have various "test" builds for different databases.
