Hi,
I finished reading the Beginning ASPNET 4.5 for c# and visual basic and I have completed all the try outs.
I have built a simple website (with visual studio 2012) with a simple sql database (sql management studio) and I purchased a hosting through godaddy.com.
I am almost ready to deploy my website through godaddy. By the way it is my first time to do this (develop and deploy a website)

Here are my questions:

1) I found this article (a lot of tutorials )
http://www.asp.net/web-forms/tutoria...t/introduction
Is it a good one to start with?

2) Do you know if godaddy will be able to import my SQL file (I create an sql script)

3) When everything is up and running through godaddy, if I decide to make changes to some of my asp pages and/or sql database....how does it work? do I have to report it to godaddy all the time? do I make the changes in my local machine (release folder) and updates automatically?
I know probably my questions are dumb....please don't laugh!

Thanks for your time.
:)

Hi there,

Chapter 19 is a good start for an overview of deployment. GoDaddy may support "web deploy" which means you can send your files directly from the Publish wizard instead of storing the locally on disk first.

For the database, I assume they have an online tool where you can upload the sql file to create the necessary tables and data. Not sure, so be sure to check out their FAQs. They may also offer direct access to your database through SQL Server Management Studio.

For updates, it depends on what they offer. If you have direct database access, you can use a tool like Red Gate's SQL Compare to script the differences between local and development and run those against the target database.

Hope this helps,

Imar
