I am working on an asp.net mvc web application. I have prepared a web deployment package from my staging environment as a zip file, then I publish this web deployment package inside IIS on production server and it worked well.
But currently I need to modify a Controller class to fix a bug on production. But I am not sure how I can publish this specific controller file to my production server .I test the fix on staging and now i need to deploy this controller class to my production
server, do i need to re-create the whole web deployment package ?. can anyone advice?
A controller is just one class in the resulting assembly (.dll) that gets created when you build your application. It cannot stand alone unless you create it as a separate project (which would require more work).
I usually publish my apps locally to the file system and FTP the bit that changed to the server. In your case, that would be just the dll file that gets generated in the bin folder.
