When I first started deploying code from TFS I took the simple approach and created a batch file and deployed the websites via RoboCopy. I’m a very “Keep it simple” kind of guy, so this worked for us for a long time and so nothing was changed.With my most recent project however, we were deploying code over a slow VPN tunnel from our servers in Chicago to servers located in Europe.

Due to this, the RoboCopy was taking over 4.5 hours to complete. I needed a better/faster way so I started looking into Web Deploy (MSDeploy). I was able to get it working fairly easily and I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get it working, and how much time its saved me!

I can now deploy the code in less than 20 minutes!I’ve outlined the process in detail below, but in general you only need to do this:. Add MSBuild parameters to your automated build. Customize the deployment parameters for the website. Create a batch file to an auto-generated MSDeploy script. Execute the batch file from the automated buildNote: In order to use MSDeploy, you need to install MSDeploy on the destination server.

Details can be found on the Web Deploy/MSDeploy website here:Step 1: Create an automated Build in TFSThis is obvious, but worth mentioning. If you don’t have an automated build, you can’t do automated deployment.

Here is an MSDN Article that walks you through it:Kick off your build and verify that it builds and deploys the websites properly. You can do this by making sure the build completes properly and that the code is moved out to the code drop location. The code should be in the following location:PublishedWebsitesExample:Step 2: Customize the build for MSDeployAfter the build is created, there are a few MSDeploy specific changes you need to do.1. For the Default Template, create a new template by clicking on “New”, selecting the Default template, naming it and clicking “OK”. This is the template we’ll be editing later on.2.

On the “Process” tab, you need to enter the following for the MSBuild Arguments:/p:DeployOnBuild=True /p:Configuration=ReleaseStep 3: Kick off the build and verify MSBuild Arguments:Now that the MSDeploy stuff has been added, you want to kick off another build. When it completes you should now start seeing some “Package” folders in the Code Drop Location:If you don’t see these, then go back to steps 1 and 2 and make sure you’ve got everything set up properly.Take a look at the contents. You can see that TFS/MSBuild take care of a lot of the heavy lifting. Deploy.cmd: This is a batch file that can be executed to publish code to a server that has Web Deploy installed on it.

You can open it and take a look to get an idea of what its doing. Its some pretty cool stuff.

SetParameters.xml: This is an xml file that allows you to set some specific parameters for the deployment like IISWebsite name, etc. We’ll be using this file later to tell MSDeploy where to put the code. Sourcemanifest.xml: Config file used by MSDeploy to Locate where the code files are. zip file: Compressed version of the published website.

This is what is deployed to the server during deploymentsStep 4: Save off “SetParameters.xml” filesI like using batch files for deployments and I like to save them on the build server so they are easily executed during deployments. When I do this, I add folders into the Code drop location for each build definition and create a new folder called “Batches”. We’ll need to save off the SetParameters.xml files as well, so lets create another folder in the Batches folder called SetParameters. Grab the SetParameters.xml file from step 3 and copy it into this folder.Now we need to customize this XML file for our deployment.Open the SetParameters.xml file in a text editor. You’ll see a “setParameter” XML node where the IIS Web Application name is being set. Update this to match the Website/Web app in IIS on the server where this will be deployed:In my example, the WebService is actually deployed on the server to the Default Web Site – NewsService locationIIS on the server:WebService.Setparameters.xml:Step 5: Create a batch file to execute the DeploymentNow that we have the Package folder being created and we’ve customized our XML file, we need to set up a batch file to execute MSDeploy and have it published to the server. The auto generated deploy.cmd file comes in extremely handy.Again, we’ll leverage the “Batches” folder on the build server.Create a new batch file called “RunDeployment.cmd” in the Batches folder and add the following lines into it:.

Execute Batch File Powershell

Here we set up variables used to execute the MSDeploy. I use variables so that we can easily change things like server names, etc. Without changing the actual MSDeploy calls.

xcopyFlag: normal xCopy flags used to silently overwrite files via batch files. location: this trims extra quotes from the location parameter passed in.

(We’ll pass in this from the Deployment workflow later on). logfile: Sets up a log file. This week I was trying to containerize an existing java application.

Part of 'installing' the application on the container required executing an PowerShell script in the container during the Image build. Based on the documentation I thought i could add the following command to my dockerfile and it would work:RUN install.ps1However, when I went to build the image, it just hung on that step. I tried several other variations of the run command including:RUN 'Powershell', '.install.ps1'which resulted in the following error: 'Powershell' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.RUN 'Powershell.exe', '.install.ps1' which returned the same error as above.I was about to give up and move the PowerShell commands from the.ps1 file directly into the dockerfile itself as described, but I had an 'A HA!' Moment and decided to give a simpler approach a tr. Building and deploying a web service or website via TFS is pretty straight forward, but automatically deploying a windows service or console application takes a b it of setup. I’ve outlined the steps below to get your service deployed.

Letting it get back and this time a really special game is called GTA 5. Now you will play it for free on Xbox One/360, PlayStation 3/4 and Microsoft windows (PC) using our Grand Theft Auto 5 CD Key Generator. GTA 5 is a really popular game and yeah you are going to get it free and if you are really interested just follow the steps. Starting from we are moving our GTA V Keygen to our own server! From now on, all the keys will be generated on our server. The desktop application below isn't working anymore and can't be downloaded, but you can now use our GTA V Online Key Generator! Grand Theft Auto 5 Key Generator is an online tool that generates unique and unused activation keys for the GTA 5 video game. The key generator work similarly to the back-end tools that software makers use to generate product keys: via a proprietary algorithm. Why Use Grand Theft Auto 5 Key Generator.

Step 1: Set up Automated Build and MSDeploy on the Target server. If you are doing any sort of automated build/deploy I recommend using MSDeploy.

You can follow steps 1-3 from a previous post.Step 2: Edit the.csproj fileThe project file for the app you are trying to deploy needs to be edited so that TFS will create a directory for the output of the project. Otherwise the project will be built, but the assemblies will be placed in the code drop location with no organization to it.To edit the file, go to the open file dialog and locate the csproj file. Select it but don’t click “Open. Instead click on the dropdown arrow next to the Open button, select “Open with”, and choose the XML (Text) editor as shown:Once the file is open, add the following “Pr. In a recent post, I mentioned one of the advantages of using Entity Framework in your application is that you can build a generic repository class very easily. Of course, its not realistic to think that all access to the data will be a single table at a time. Most often it’s the case where you need to return data that spans multiple tables.

I’m going to show you how I created a simple repository class that spans tables.Creating the Summary/DTO ObjectThe first thing I like to start with is to create the simple POCO object that will be used to transport the data. This is essential to define first so that you do not get caught up in data structures, but instead define the data as the application is going to need it.

In the case with my database, I have a table called “Avail” that contains a ton of foreign keys to a contact table. I needed to display this data, but instead of a bunch of foreign keys, I needed to display the actual names of people.

I ended up defining the object as f.
