[2005]Updating webite issue !

[Pirate]

a basic question guys :

How do you update your websites after deploying it ??
like when you need to add new webpage(whether parent or child) ,so you have to change ( web.sitemap which includes SiteMapDataSource) . So everytime you add new page , you have to change this or what exactly you have to do ?

My website is sqldatabse-driven , my only problem is how can i handle adding new pages after deployment !!!

Thanks

You're going to have to be more specific. If it's database driven, how does that figure into deployment here?

The best way is to usually redeploy the entire site, since it's not a lot of files and hardly takes a minute.

To be more specific , what must I do if I want to add new page to my site ! Is there any simpler way to update the menus and site navigation control other than altering them mannually !

Unfortunately, you'll need some way of re-generating the .sitemap file. If it's simple and straightforward, you could simply create a RegenerateSitemap.aspx page that iterates through all the pages in your directory structure and adds any new pages to the XML of the .sitemap file.

I think I've to read more about this somewhere on the net.

Thanks
