Visual Studio Publish Web Configuration does not contain Release

I am trying to publish my first Website.  I have set up my profile name and it is for publish method file system and I have put in my target location. I click next and I have a configuration dropdown.  It only contains "Debug."  All of the on-line instructions show that I need to select Release.  It's not there, so what do I do?

I did use the debug selection and published it.  I opened the folder and now what?  

I am hoping that this operates the way I currently do business with Windows Forms.  I publish to a server and then I find the .exe and install it from there.  But I think not.

Many thanks for any response to questions I'm not sure I am even asking correctly!

Hi Karen,

It is very different from Windows forms where we click the form and it opens. You dont have to install anything.
You can open your website in browser. Put your website url in the browser and press enter.

Hope it helps !

Thanks Pawan, but I have been unable to figure this darn thing out!!  I have a Yahoo hosting account but whatever I'm doing, is not working.  Do you happen to know of an instructional link?

I've been away on holiday.  I will try this again and let you know the results.  Thanks for your latest suggestion.
I am closing this question as I figured out that our IT department took away the capability of publishing to the internet.
