Deploying Asp.net Web application

Al

Hi,

when I used to develop an asp.net website, I deploy the whole site via ftp. The all source code was uploaded to the host and I used to consider this as a backup code for my website .

Now, I am using Web application and I publish compiled code (no source code is uploaded) so , is there a way where I can still publish my web application and include all the source code for the web application.

Please advise,

Al

The best way to do this is you do not upload source code directly to server, instead publish code and deploy it (the way you are deploying now).
and if you want to keep sourcecode as backup, you can use any repository
Ex: github, gitlab, etc..

Benefit:
1. Every year I guess you have to buy space for hosting this application in 1/2 year gap, and in case you forgot code will be lost. better to keep it in some other space.
2. Security concerns

Al,
Good morning. Generally, applications's compiled code will be deployed in the production servers. Please refer to the below URL.

If you need the debugging capabilities you can still perform the remote debugging. Please refer to the below URL. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/remote-debugging-azure?view=vs-2019
