VSS 2005 Web Deployment

VSS 2005 Web Deployment
Mon, 13 Aug 2007 07:40:03 -070
Hi there.

I'm new to VSS so please allow for any ignorance I may show here. 

I have just installed VSS 2005 on a Win 2003 server for development 
purposes. I also have IIS 6 installed on the server and I work from a Win XP 
Pro workstation using Visual Studio 2005 SP1.

I believe everything is working so far although I only have a single test 
project installed at this stage. However where I am a little confused or at 
least need something confirming is with the web deployment option.

First may I say that I have the test project set up to deploy to a website 
on IIS and this does actually deploy or at least it does copy any changed 
files across to the IIS.

I am also aware that VSS doesn’t take a copy of any dll's from the bin 
folder which leaves me with my issue.  Most of my projects are web 
applications and I typically have at least one class library referenced from 
the web application. Working locally when I run the application the solution 
builds, dll's are copied across and the web application runs. When I do a 
deployment the dll's are not copied across to IIS and hence the application 
doesn’t work correctly.

While I do appreciate that VSS isn’t a build engine is there a way around 
this or do I need to install a third party product to do the build and copy 
the files etc.

Any advice gratefully received.
