Description 

Source Directory 

Displays the directory where your project is located.  

Destination 

Choose a target for your deployment, either a folder location or an FTP location. The target is the directory where your executable, .dlls, mark-up files, configuration, and other files that are necessary to run your application will be located.

• If you choose Folder Location, the Browse for Folder dialog box is displayed. To change a folder location you have chosen, click the button with the ellipsis label (...) to browse again.
• If you choose FTP Location, the FTP Connection Options dialog box is displayed.

 

Source Files 

Lists most of the files that you need to include in your deployment directory (such as mark-up files, executables, and config files).
Note: You may need to open the References node for your project (in the Project Manager) and set the Copy Local option to True for some of the .dll files, before you can add them to your project.. (For instance, if you're using BDP, you will have to do this with the Borland.Data.Common.dll and Borland.Data.Provider.dll files.) After you have set the Copy Local option, recompile your project. Now these additional files will show up in the Source list.
To add database-specific drivers, right-click the References node for your project, and then select the Add References option. Choose the driver that corresponds to the database you are using.  

Status 

Displays the status of the files that you are going to deploy. Before you deploy the files, their satus is Not Connected. After you select a target destination, the status of these files will change to New.  

Destination Files 

Specifies the target destination for your application deployment and displays files that are already present at that destination.
To move files from the Source Files list to the Destination Files list, right-click the file name, and choose either Copy Selected File(s) to Destination, or Copy All New and Modified Files to the Source Destination. You can also use the icons in the center gutter to copy files to and delete files from the destination list.  

Status  

Displays the status of the files that you are deploying. After you deploy your application, the files are listed with a status of Current.

When selected, the Deployment Manager shows all of the assemblies referenced by the project. The system assemblies are shown, but disabled (grayed). These disabled assemblies can't be deployed.  

External Files... 

Allows you to pick the external files that you want to deploy. The External Files dialog box appears, with a list of check boxes. This list includes the BDP database libraries and the database-specific libraries, since these often need to be deployed with your ASP.NET application. You can add more files to the list using a File Open dialog. The list has a column that indicates the destination subdirectory for each external file. You can edit this destination. Check the boxes next to the libraries that you want to add to your application deployment, and then click the Add button.
