So I'm kinda new to SharePoint Development. I developed a Worfklow on VS2010 an this one worked on the localSharePoint Server. Now When I'm trying to add this Workflow to my extern SharePoint Server it just wont work to assign this workflow to a list.
How i Deploy:
I take the "*.wsp" file from \bin\debug and upload it via the Gallery->Solution. then I acitvate the solution, bute then i cant find this workflow to assign it to a List.
Thank you
Markus
You need to deploy your .wsp.

I got an ASP.NET project. I'm going to send the project to a server company where they will host it. How do I prepare it to be hosted? I assume I cant simply send the whole project to them. What are the steps to prepare the project to be readable in their server?
This is my first project, never done it before.
Used Visual Studio 2015, WebForm/ASP.NET.
It's going to be hosted via a server company, no clue about anything about their servers.
Also got a MS Access database in App_Data folder within the project.
PS: I found "Publish" by right-clicking the project in Visual Studio's 'Solution Explorer'. I've been checking out this link but it's really confusing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When you publish an application, most of the time it will run just as it does when you debug it, but on the server. All the binaries are copied there, with the Web.config, and most like all you have in your application, but the source code will not be avaiable of course. You don't need to send the application to the company which will host your application, most likely they will give you the server address where your application will be published, they will create an account for you, with some permissions, and credentials. And of course, you can read more about IIS server, it will be pretty relevant to you, and you can configure yourself a server where you can publish your application, just to see how it works.
Set up your own application on your own IIS and experiment locally until you have all stuff in place. Then copy to you hosting environment.
Later on you can script this process to have full control over what you need in dev and prod respectively.
This was working fine yesterday.
I made several changes to my system (updates from VS Community 15) and the Azure SDK updates, etc., - as was recommended by the software.
Today, when I right click on the web app and select Publish (using the same or manually entered public information) I see the following error on my Azure App Service Activity tab:
Can't find existing loaded project:http://localhost:55809
I have since tried other publish profiles, none seem to work.
I can successfully build and run the web app on localhost.
In Visual Studio, go to View -> Other Windows -> Web Publish Activity and you will see the Azure App Service Activity window.
Click on the Publish web icon that you will find there. It should work.
Publishing via FTP to azure instead of WebDeploy worked for me.
Change the deploy method to Ftp then change it right back to "Web Deploy". This keeps working for me
In the project folder in the website.publishproj file change the SourceWebProject tag to contain your client name instead of the localhost.
At least this worked for me :)
Update 13 Dec 2015:
Having the same problem again. The previously mentioned fix does not work. However publishing via FTP to azure works.
When you get the azure publish profile you get both Web Deploy and FTP. Try using FTP.
An update of Visual Studio Community 2015 to version 14.0.24720.00 Update 1 seems to have corrected the problem.
Update or install from here. Visual Studio Community Download from Microsoft
I'm working on a Visual Studio 2012 web application, and need to allow colleagues to view the current website by my IP address (while I would access it my localhost). It appears that hosting the site locally through IIS7 and allowing others to access it by my local IP the simplest method. After troubleshooting and experimenting for a day though, I still don't understand the relationship between an IIS7 site/website/application and Visual Studio web application, and the MSDN explanations are really hard to follow.
Basically, I'm trying to understand:
1) How to set up a IIS website and application (should the 'physical path' be the VS solution folder or deployment package .zip folder?, for example)
2) How to most simply deploy the web application (e.g. File System/ Web Deploy/ Web Package, etc.) and
3) The order to do all of this.
I'm running VS as administrator, my port 80 is open, and have IIS7 set to use .NET v4, yet when I publish the selection using File System in VS2012 to my C drive, the resulting site gets a HTTP:500 error, with no source code underneath. (Also, before even publishing, setting the solution to use my Local IIS instead of IIS Express and previewing results in a blank page). If there is a better way to do this please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
If you don't want to learn (or bother) with the details of setting it up, you can use a small utility like 'ngrok' that will allow others to view your website at 'localhost'.
Takes about 5 minutes to learn and get up and running (and its free).

I am new to Sharepoint. I have an application created in C# Visual Studio 2010(web application).I have to show the contents and the solution inside of SharePoint so that the C# application could be used by its users without the need of Visual Studio having to be installed in each user's desktop.
I have to upload the C# solution to sharepoint portal server and then create a link in documents tab which will open this application. If that's the case,i am not sure how to do that any assistance will be appreciated.
Just open the SharePoint Document library in Windows explorer mode copy your Solution. Please check the below link.

Be aware that any .NET app can run underneath SharePoint if the directory is excluded as a managed path.
Access to that app is easily done - either a simple redirect there or use the Page Viewer Web Part (an IFrame) to display the app "inside" SharePoint.
Easy - no code required.

I'm using the latest Visual Studio 2010, with C# 3.5 and my project is working fine on my machine.
I'm using SQLite for the database, and it's just a little .db file.
What's the best way for me to package this simple little application?
What is the preferred way to create a project that's setup for deployment?
I'm assuming that your app is to be run on a desktop - if that's not the case you'll have to clarify.
You need to add a setup & deployment project to your solution and configure it to install the build output from your application as well as whatever content you want (ie: your .db file) onto the end user's machine.
The process is fairly straightforward and there are TONS of tutorials online -- Google is your friend for nitty gritty details.
You can always use NSIS (from Nullsoft). Free and really a pleasure to work with. It comes with samples and tutorials and you will find a lot of info on Google.
You can deploy your app in a few minutes if you don't want too much installer customization.
