I created a ASP.NET Website and pushed the entire code on TFS. But when i create a Build Definition in VSTS i do not see any template for the Website, all the templates are for ASP.NET Web application. The list of templates are shown in the below screenshot:

So if i want to build a website in VSTS do I need to first convert it into the Web Application or is there a third party template available to build my Website in VSTS ?

Edited: The website project structure is show below: enter image description here

I have given the path till my project file in the Build Solution task as follows:

enter image description here

The build is successful but i get the message that nothing can be added in the Artifact as shown in the below screenshot:

Edited (Latest): When I create a new "Website" in VS 2017 i do not get a project file, only a .sln file is created, so for this website what template and its configuration can i use in VSTS or how can i create a project file(.csproj) so the whole website can come under that project file. The project structure is shown in below screenshot:

enter image description here

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

To build website project, you can also use ASP.NET build process template.

The only difference is you should specify **\*.publishproj instead of **\*.sln in VS Build task.

  • Thanks for your quick reply. My website does not contain any project file, it only contains a Solution file. I have edited my question and added a screenshot related to structure of my Website Project. Can you please have a look ? – Shubham Khandelwal May 09 '18 at 09:06
  • So how did you create the website without any project? Or can you share it in one drive? – Marina Liu May 09 '18 at 09:29
  • Really sorry for confusion, I discovered I have a project file inside the CMS folder. Now I will try as you mentioned above to use the **\*.publishproj. Thanks. – Shubham Khandelwal May 09 '18 at 10:14
  • I have received a message "nothing can be added in the Artifact folder". I have edited the question and provided the screenshot. Can you please have a look ? Thanks in advance. – Shubham Khandelwal May 09 '18 at 10:34
  • @Sandy You specified `.csproj` in VS Build task. Please specify the `.publishproj` instead. – Marina Liu May 10 '18 at 01:48
  • Thanks for your reply. I have one more doubt related to building of Website on VSTS. I have edited my question. Can you please have a look? Thanks in advance. – Shubham Khandelwal May 10 '18 at 10:15
  • Since the question you initially asked has been solved, you can accept the answer. For the additional questions as you described in "Edited (Latest)", you can create a new post to describe with more details (such as show the detail steps how you create a website only with sln file etc). And it cab also benefit other members to read this question clearly :) – Marina Liu May 11 '18 at 08:21
