Help with deploying a web project to a server

Hello,

I created an ASP.NET project and now to deploy it to a web server. is the best approach is to create a webserver project? Will it automatically include all the files I need for the project, includingg third party controls? Once I create a webserver project what other information I will need to deploy it to a webserver?

Thanks,

Victor

Thank You!
My datasource (xml files)are  in the Appdata folder of my application, I'm assuming I also need to copy the Appdata folder or will it be part of the setup project? Also since I'm using xml as my datasource, no special database server is needed right and will security of the data be an issue or as long as the web server is secured there should be no issue?.
Yes, if you are storing data in an XML file then you will need to copy it to the server as well, and store it in the same directory structure that you have your application setup to use.  Also yes, your web server files should be secured, and most web hosting companies give you settings where you can control what files are publicly accessible or not.
Thanks!
