How to Deploy/Publish two projects in ASP.NET MVC with VS (Codeplex: AspNet.Identity.MySQL)

I have created an ASP.NET MVC 5 project with Entity Framework and a MySQL database. In Debug-mode everything works perfectly, but now I would like to publish it to my IIS-Server.

  1. The first project in my Solution is AspNet.Identity.MySQL which
    allows me to use Entity Framework in combination with Identity 2.0
    and MySQL. It is from codeplex. https://aspnet.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#Samples/Identity/AspNet.Identity.MySQL/
  2. The second project is my ASP.NET MVC application.

Publishing the second project by itself is no problem. I just don´t know how to publish the first project (AspNet.Identity.MySQL).

Long story short, I have this and don´t know how to deploy/publish it via File-System:

IdentityWeb is the ASP.NET MVC Appliaction

IdentityWeb is the ASP.NET MVC Appliaction.

Thanks for your help, Beardy Bear

Solution

  • The first project AspNet.Identity.MySql is a class library, so it's output is a DLL only. When you build the solution, a DLL is output into the bin folder. If project IdentityWeb has a reference to the other one, the DLL for it will appear in the bin for that project too.

    As long as when you publish the IdentityWeb project, it has the DLL AspNet.Identity.MySQL.dll in the bin, then you should be able to deploy your ASP.NET MVC application to IIS.
