Deploying a Web application to Internet Information Services (IIS) is not supported
natively by Team Build. If you want to deploy the application to IIS as part of the team
build, you have two choices: you can: add a custom step to the build type, or you can use
a Web Deployment Project.
If you are at the start of a Team Project, examine the Web Deployment Project option to
see if you can use this option in your development. If you already have existing Web
sites, using Web Deployment Projects may disrupt application development. Consider
using an MSBuild post-build step instead. In both cases, you must ensure that the service
account used to run the build is a member of the local administrators group to allow it to
create a virtual directory in IIS.
To use a post build step to deploy your Web application
1. Download the SDC Tasks Library from Codeplex at
http://www.codeplex.com/sdctasks
2. Check out the Team Build type that you are going to use to deploy the Web
application.
3. Extract the file Microsoft.Sdc.Tasks.dll from the downloaded zip file into the folder
where you checked out the build type.
4. Add the DLL to source control and check it in.
5. Amend the TFSBuild.proj file so that the build copies the files to the correct
directory, and then create that directory as a virtual directory as follows:
a. Add a element specifying the location of the compiled
Web application:
$(SolutionRoot)\..\Binaries\.NET\Release\_PublishedWebSites\MyWeb
Site
b. Add two UsingTask elements that add a references to the
CreateVirtualDirectory and DeleteVirtualDirectory tasks:
