Welcome to studentdemos.com
This site was created in the "Create and Deploy an ASP.NET Website" tutorial at
VividKnowledge.com. To see this tutorial,
click here.
In this site, the Products page simply shows a couple of records of sample data
and is blocked to public access. The page requires a user to be registered and
logged in to view it. Feel free to create a bogus account (no real email is
required) and try it out. You can also just use username: Member - password:
membermember.
The main focus of the course is to successfully deploy a website to a shared
hosting environment. To do this, the tutorial walks the user through the
creation of a simple website that has a few common elements added to it like a
custom database table for items, user login and user registration parts. In the
end, the student sees the major pieces of a website, including a database, being
assembled, tested, and deployed to a shared hosting site.
This course tutorial covers the following:
|
Chapter 1: Introduction and Setting Up
|
Lessons in this Chapter:
- Making sure you have all the development tools and hosting that you need.
- Creating the foundation of the site by starting a Web Site in Visual Web
Developer 2010
- Changing from one ASP.NET version to another. In this case, the course shows
converting from the default ASP.NET version in Visual Web Developer 2010 of 4.0
down to version 3.5 and covers how this can cause some issues and how to correct
them.
- Establishing a database for Membership and Membership Role management with SQL
Express using the ASP.NET Configuration tool in .NET.

webserver communication along with a discussion about server side processing of
web pages in the ASP.NET environment.
- Modify the Master page and make adjustments to correct an issue with converting
from ASP.NET 4.0 down to ASP.NET 3.5, and add a menu item to the site wide menu
on the master page.
- Add a web page to the site and attach the Master Page to it so that the new page

Chapter 3: Adding Custom Data & Restricting Access
|
Lessons in this Chapter:
- Add a new folder to the website and create a new page inside the new folder.
Then add then menu item to the site wide menu in the master page.

Chapter 4: Preparing for & Deploying the Website
|
Lessons in this Chapter:
- Check the site for build errors and correct them
- Gain FTP information from the remote hosting platform and publish the site files before making the proper changes. This shows the errors that occur in an improperly configured site launch.
- Gain remote database information to properly configure the site to communicate with it. The site is then tested again to show the errors of a proper connection that talks to a database that is not yet populated with your local database schema.
- Create an SQL file from the local database with tools in Visual Web Developer to use in the remote database platform. This file will create the tables and populate them in the remote database.
- Surf the site to ensure all things are working.
