The document discusses managing configuration settings across different environments when deploying web applications. It describes using web.config transformations to maintain a single configuration file with environment-specific settings. The transformations are applied during deployment to the target environment. MS Deploy is also mentioned as a tool that can deploy applications and synchronize configurations remotely.
Web Deployment With Visual Studio 2010
- 1. Agenda Transforming settings in web.config Packaging applications for deployment Deploying packages to IIS Name Ravi Pahuja Organization Espire Info Labs Email ravipahuja@hotmail.com
- 2. ASP.NET and IIS Configuration Configuration stored in XML files validated by a schema. Schema describes configuration settings for IIS, ASP.NET and 3 rd party applications. Central configuration file for the server contains system wide configuration settings. Distributed configuration files contain overrides and local site and application settings. Validation
- 3. Web Deployment Today Multiple environments including Development, Testing, Staging and Production Must manage settings for each environment Difficult to keep environments consistent Applications often need to be deployed by someone else Need to package code, data, application settings and environment configuration for easier deployment
- 4. What are the components, settings, etc you have to deploy with your web application?
- 5. Managing Settings Need consistent configuration with customizations across deployment environments Having multiple web.config files introduces inconsistencies Web.config transformations allows one master web.config with specific customizations for target environments
- 6. How it Transformation Works Web. config Web. Staging. config Visual Studio Transformation Deployed Web. config < appSettings > < add key ="EnvironmentName" value ="Staging" xdt:Transform ="SetAttributes(value)" xdt:Locator ="Match(key)" /> </ appSettings > < connectionStrings > < add name ="LoggingConnectionString" connectionString =“ connection " providerName ="System.Data.SqlClient" xdt:Transform ="Replace" xdt:Locator ="Match(name)" /> </ connectionStrings >
- 7. Web.Config Transformation Transform Description xdt:Transform=“Replace” Replaces the first matched node xdt:Transform=“Remove” Removes the first matched node xdt:Transform=“RemoveAll” Removes all the matching nodes xdt:Transform=“Insert” Inserts the node at the end xdt:Transform=“SetAttributes(attributeNames)” Creates or changes values of the existing attributes xdt:Transform=“RemoveAttributes(attributeNames)” Removes the attributes if they exist xdt:Transform=“InsertBefore(XPath)” Inserts the node on the provided Xpath xdt:Transform=“InsertAfter(XPath)” Inserts the node on the provided XPath
- 8. Web.Config Transformation Locators Locator Description xdt:Locator=“Match(attributeName)” Can accept comma seperated names of the attributes xdt:Locator=“Condition(xPath Predicate)” Can take any Xpath predicates like xdt:Locator="Condition(@name=’Northwind’ or @providerName=’ System.Data.SqlClient’)" xdt:Locator=“Xpath(/configuration/…)” Can take any complicated Xpath like "XPath(//system.web)"
- 9. MS Deploy Synchronize, Migrate, Deploy Works with IIS 6.0 and IIS 7.0 Analyze the destination environment Do a –whatif Analysis before committing operation Includes a service for deploying applications remotely Integration Integrated with Powershell Integrated in Visual Studio 2010 Compatible with Web Platform Installer
- 10. Integration with Visual Studio 2010
