asp.net web deployment and hosting

Question

I m very new to Asp.net technology. I have created website in asp.net and created package for it and hosted in local iis. After hosting I made some changes in website in code behind and now I wanted it to be hosted in iis but I don't want to repeat all the stuff for hosting. does it work well if I paste built package on wwwroot folder? please help

Answer 1

Yes. It is exactly what Web Deploy does. Just make sure to compile your code and get them from \\bin folder.

Answer 2

Yes, you can xcopy DLLs into the host folder and it should just work. IIS should pick up the changes right away.
