Publish Page, Project Designer (2003 System)

The Publish pane of the Project Designer is used to configure properties for deployment.

To access this page, select the project in Solution Explorer, and then, on the Project menu, click Projectname Properties. If the Publish page is not displayed, click the Publish tab.

Note

You can also set the publishing location in the Publish Wizard. For more information, see How to: Deploy Solution Files Using the Publish Wizard (2003 System).

  • Publishing location
    Specifies the location where the Project Designer will copy the files when you click Publish Now.

    Can be a disk path (C:\deploy\mycustomization), a file share (\\server\mycustomization), or a Web site (https://www.microsoft.com/mycustomization).

  • Publish Version
    Sets the publish version number for the application; when the version number is changed the application is published as an update. Each part of the publish version (Major, Minor, Build, Revision) can contain up to 5 digits.

  • Automatically increment revision with each release
    Optional. When checked (the default), the Revision part of the publish version number is incremented by one every time the application is published. This causes the application to be published as an update.

  • Publish Now
    Publishes the application using the current settings. Equivalent to the Finish button in the Publish Wizard.
