Web Development in Visual Studio 2010

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 provides many new features for the development of ASP.net Web applications. These new features are designed to help developers quickly and easily create and deploy high-quality, full-featured Web applications.

Currently, Visual Studio 2010 supports HTML code snippets. With these snippets of code, you can generate high-quality code. Visual Studio comes with a lot of code snippets, and developers can create their own snippets of code.

Another new feature provided by Visual Studio 2010 is to convert Web.config files for deployment. Visual Studio 2010 supports a rich configuration translation language that enables developers to change elements in the Web.config file, including connection strings, file path locations, and service addresses.

asp.net Web applications are now simpler to deploy based on the new feature packs and deployment features in Visual Studio 2010. You can easily publish your WEB application to a specific location in a build machine (even in a ZIP file) and deploy it to either Visual Studio Web server or Windows Internet Information Server (IIS).

Goal

In this hands-on experiment, you will learn how to:

• Develop asp.net Web application pages using HTML code Snippets

• Create and deploy your own custom HTML code fragment

• Create and automatically convert web.config when you deploy a WEB application across environments.

• Create a deployment package for your ASP.net Web application and deploy the application to a Visual Studio Development Web server or Windows Internet Information Server (IIS).

Practice

This hands-on experiment consists of the following exercises:

• Use the HTML code fragment in Visual Studio 2010

• Convert web.config files for deployment

• Package and deploy Web applications to Visual Studio Development Web Server

• Package and deploy WEB applications to Windows Internet information Server (IIS)

Estimated time to complete this experiment: 60 minutes.

System Requirements
