Deploying ASP.net application developed using VS2008express edition on MServer 2008 - asp.net

I want to deploy a Website which i have created using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition onto a server having Microsoft Windows Server 2008.
I dont know anything about deployment. I want to know what are the things required on the Server in order to make the application work.
i had used ajax toolkit VS2008 Express Edition and mysql on my developer machine.

Do you have full access to the server or are you using a hosting provider?
When you say Website, do you mean your project is a Website project or is it a Web Application project?
If it's a website project you should use the WebDeploy project add-in. In fact you'll need this since the Web Deploy project will merge all your pages into one dll. I'm not sure of the limitation of the Express Edition no you'll need to check.

Running MVC 5 website without iis or visual studio

I created a website using visual studio 2015 with MVC 5.
The website should run locally using local databse.
The problem is, I want to run this website as program, without need to install iis or visual studio to run it..
What can I do?
ASP.NET MVC is a website and not a program as such. It therefore requires IIS to run. You don't need Visual Studio however.
If you want a stand-alone executable, you need to use a different UI paradigm. Console, Winforms or Universal Windows App to name just three.
Your option is to migrate to dotnet Core which can host web application as a Windows service, or just a Console App. You dont need Visial Studio to host it at all.

How to publish and run dnx-clr-x64 (ASP.NET 5) MVC site on shared hosting and on IIS 8.5 localhost

I would like to be able to run my published site on my arvixe shared hosting (if it's possible now, as it's only beta4 now), and on my dev machine's IIS 8.5.
It's a dnx-clr-x64.1.0.0-beta4 ASP.NET 5 project. (dnx451) I'm thinking of using the full .NET, not the Core. It would be also nice, NOT to publish the source code.
I'm using Visual Studio Community 2015 RC.
Can it be done, and can it be done from VS, without console commands?
Thanks.

Possible to debug/run aspnet5 application in IIS via VS2015

Is it possible to debug and run an ASP.Net5 MVC6 application via IIS and VS2015 using the current preview? (CTP5).
When I look at the available project options(project properties/Debug/Debug target) I only have IIS express available in the dropdown list.
Currently ASP.NET 5 hosting for Visual Studio only supports the following:
Hosting with IIS Express
Self host with the web command (or any other command)
Support for IIS is on our backlog but it may not make the initial release. We are likely to specifically target IIS Express until most features are implemented. After that we will add support for IIS.

Sync ASP.NET website with web server?

I have an IIS 8 web server with FTP access configured. On my development PC, I created a new ASP.NET project with Visual Studio 2013. How can I "publish" / upload my project to the web server on build? I noticed that while creating a project, I can choose "FTP" to create the files on the webserver, but then Visual Studio doesn't create the folder structure, include jquery, sample code, etc.
In Visual Studio you can create a publish profile and configure your FTP server on it. Then, after the publish profile is created, you can use the "One-Click Publish" feature to send the files to your server. It even has some preview options, that allow you to see the changes that are being made.
Here is a link from Microsoft describing the entire process: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd465337(v=vs.110).aspx
And here is another useful link from Microsoft containing an overview of the web deployment process for Visual Studio and ASP.Net applications
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd394698(v=vs.110).aspx
Both links are targeted to Visual Studio 2012, but i think they also apply for VS 2013

Can I host asp.net website?

If I develop a website in asp.net using visual studio trial version & I have my existing domain which supports asp.net hosting. Do i need to purchase a license copy of .net framework or visual studio in order to lunch my website?
Nope. You already have everything you need to launch the site.
The .NET Runtime doesn't require you to purchase anything. If the hosting provider has it installed on the server and offers ASP.NET hosting...you're good to go on that front.
The trial version of Visual Studio also doesn't limit you in this sense. You could've written your ASP.NET code with Notepad and compiled with the .NET SDK that Microsoft distributes freely. It's all the same when it gets served up.
The .NET framework does not require you to buy a license - it is free to download and install, and chances are that your host already has it setup.
As for Visual Studio, it is a development environment - you do not need to install it on the web server.
Once you have developed your site, you can use the built in Visual Studio publishing in order to push the site to your host.
All you need to do is publish the site then configure the site in IIS.
