Hi, I created a simple Temperature converter in Visual Studio Express 2012 for web, now I wish to publish my project, could any one steer me to a good tutorial site on how to do this please!

I tried searching google and YouTube for tutorials but have not been successful.

Any help on this will be appreciated!

Cheers from MagicBytes :)

PS. I downloaded and installed Visual Studio Express 2012 for web on 16th Nov 2012, so I am a newby to this product.

Hi, thanks for your time to reply, in Visual Studio Express 2012 for web, I manage to publish my project, but the problem is I don't see the TemperatureConverter.html file in my www folder on my web hosting server, the only files that I see that was published is TemperatureConverter.apsx file and a bin folder with two files named, TemperatureConverter.dll and TemperatureConverter.xml, how am suppose to include my project to my website if there is no html file to display a page in a browser.

I am not getting it!

aspx file is what's expected there. you won't get html files for vs publishing. Html is static file and no need pubish at all.

while publish all .aspx.cs/vb files are converted into .dll.

So no need to confuse.

Please check you published folder first try this published folder in your local and try to configure in your local iisthen you can go to hosting site.
