How to deploy a vs.net 2005 application

[vkkishore_s]

Hi

I have a very small doubt which looks to be very silly point for all of you members.As of now i am working on vs.net 2003 but now i shifted to vs.net 2005.

in vs.net 2003 web application if i did any small or major modifications then i used to deploy only dll's and asp pages ( if there is any change in html content)

but in vs.net 2005 , if i did any small or major modifications i am publishing the web site ,and deploying the entire output files generated after publishing.

is it necessity to deploy all these files or is there any other solution for this .

some of my folks told me that we can use patches (its just an idea of my friends not a confirmation).

If any body of you know , how to do this please assist me.

Thanks in advance
Krishna
