How to: Customize Deployment Reports

  • Article

In Deployment Designer, the layout of the HTML deployment report generated is based on a specific XSL file. To change the layout, you need to modify or replace the default XSL file.

To change the layout of the HTML deployment report

  1. Find DeploymentReport.xsl at the following location: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9\Common7\Packages\SDM\XSL\1033.

    Note

    The value of 1033 will differ based on the locale.

  2. Create a backup copy of this file.

  3. Modify the existing DeploymentReport.xsl or create a new one and replace the default file with it.

    The next time you launch Visual Studio, the deployment report will reflect the modified or new .xsl file.

You can find different XSL files for the deployment report at the System Definition Model (SDM) SDK site located at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49586.
