RE: Advice on how to create deployment package

Hi Terry,

Thank you for posting.

Regarding on the ASP.NET web application deployment question, I think you
can create a VS.NET Web Setup project, it'll help generate the code for
copy web application's page content or assemblies. And for your shared
assemblies, you can use some command batch file or script file to register
them through the "GacUtil.exe" tool. In addition, for database creating,
you should create some custom code (use the Custom Action in VS setup
project) to programmatically connect to database and execute database
creating sql script. here are some good tech articles describing on this:

Hope this helps.
