ASP.NET web application - running remotely

[kisk]

I'm coding an asp.NET web application with vb.NET and right now I have my web folder set on my computer -- running off IIS in inetpub/wwwroot.

When I run the project, any new files that have been changed are re-compiled and then the application starts up in the browser. I would like to put my application up on my web host's servers and run it from there. Is there any way to have asp.NET, after it compiles my files, upload them to my web host's servers, then open the browser linking to the host's address?

I'm hoping this would work as I feel it might save me some headache later and so I can actually see how my app will run on the server.

Any suggestions/ideas/concerns?

thx,
kisk

I pretty sure - someone correct me if I'm wrong - but aspx files always compile the first time they are requested after being updated. So they are only compiled once to ensure better performance over traditional ASP that had files interpretted every time they were requested.

So as far as you are concerned just upload them and off you go.

Yes I understand what you are saying, but is it possible to have the IDE compile/upload any changed files to the server and popup a browser with the server's address instead of localhost?

Its not a big problem to just upload manually and test there but if vs.NET offers this feature I'd like to take advantage of it

Thanks,
