3.Double-click on the Setup.exe on the Web server to run the installer.
Summary
Deployment is the process of distributing a ready application or even its component to other computers. Visual Studio .NET provides templates for four different types of deployment projects: Merge Module, Setup, Web Setup, and Cab. Visual Studio .NET provides six deployment editors that enable you to specify the location where files should be installed on a target computer, the registry keys to be added, or any other conditions that need to be fulfilled during installation.

Project 5
Creating a Web
Portal for a
Bookstore
Project 5 Overview
A Web portal for a bookstore is an enterprise solution that allows businesses to interoperate. A portal for a bookstore offers users a variety of books from several publishers.Therefore, implementing Web services with the Web portal enables organizations to share their data with each other. For example, publishers can publish their catalog of books on the Web site of the retailer. Retailers, in turn, can share the data of their customers with the publishers. In addition to sharing data across organizations, these organizations share the business objective of achieving success.
Traditionally, customers used to visit a bookstore to buy a book. However, with the advent and increasing popularity of the Internet, customers can now shop for books on the Internet. In addition, book lovers can keep abreast of virtually all newly published books.
In this context, Bookers Paradise, a chain of retailers of books, has planned to launch its Web site.The Web site will display the catalogs of books from various publishers. To display information about books from the publishers, Bookers Paradise has planned to create Web services for each of the publishers.
In the Web portal project, you will learn to develop a complete solution for Bookers Paradise. You will learn to create a Web portal that accesses data by using Web services.In addition,the data displayed on the portal is stored in the SQL databases that act as the back end. The Web portal and the Web services are created by using the
.NET Framework. The language used as the front end will be Visual C# .NET.
In this project, you will learn to create a Web portal for Bookers Paradise. In addition, you will learn to create Web services for two publishers, Deepthoughts Publications and Black and White Publications.
After completing this project, you will be able to appreciate the support that the
.NET Framework extends to create Web services.In addition, you will be able to create an integrated business solution in the form of Web portal. This Web portal can then be customized to meet your business requirements.
