I would like to setup automatic builds for my vNext project and deploy to IIS. In Visual Studio, we use the publish option, but is a way to do this from the command line and integrate with TeamCity.

I'm making deploy of a web site to remote server from Visual Studio. I want to configure IIS of the remote server to automatically create back up on every deploy. I read a lot of MSDN tutorials, tried to run scripts in command line, but it didn't work for me.
IIS version 10.0.16299.15.
Windows 10.
Deploy from Visual Studio 2017. WebPublishMethod : MSDeploy
I have a question about setting up CI/CD for my WebAPI project. I am using Bitbucket as my code repository and I was planning to use visual studio release management to for CI. I was wondering if its possible?
Yes, you can. But you need to use the "Build" feature in Visual Studio Team Service for CI since Release Management is for CD.
For the configuration, refer to this link for details: Visual Studio Team Services: Connecting a BitBucket Repository.
Im using Xamarin Studio on MacOS to build a Website using ASP.NET C#. Now i want to publish the project to my local IIS server, but I can't find that option. I want to publish the site and then copy the files to my IIS.
Any clue?
Xamarin Studio does not include Web Deploy or Publish Wizard. You have to copy the binaries and configure IIS manually.
I am now using the Visual Studio 2013, where I want to create a web deployment installer for project like I am doing in Visual Studio 2008.
But I am not getting any option inside Setup and Deployment. Can anybody please guide me how to create the installer package for web application? I have publish folder ready with me. Can I create any installer from VS2008 using this Publish folder?
Visual Studio no longer includes a setup installer out of the box. This was removed in VS2012; the guidance instead is to use a 3rd party option like WiX or InstallShield.
Another option, if you don't need to use an MSI based installer, is to use Web Deploy. A web project in VS can create a deployment package, which can then be published to any number of websites at any time. It can also be customized by configuring parameters and setting their values at deploy time (link). Web Deploy packages can support deploying your web content, IIS settings, and database.
VS2013 will support it again. It will be released in the next update patch of the VS2013.

What is the difference between Web Deployment Projects (.wdproj) and new
MSDeploy?
Is it prefer to use MSDeploy instead of Web Deployment Projects?
Is this add-in created only for backward compatibility with already created Visual Studio 2005/2008 projects, or it's a product, which will be evolving?
Web Deployment Projects and Web Deploy (aka MSDeploy) are not mutually exclusive; you can use a WDP to create a Web Deploy deployment package. Web Deploy is an IIS tool that can be used by Visual Studio or MSBuild. In Visual Studio 2010 the Web Publishing Pipeline is implemented using MSBuild so that it can work the same way from the IDE (the one-click publish feature) or by invoking MSBuild targets from the command line. See this MSDN page:

If you're using VS 2010 or later and you are using web application projects rather than web site projects, you don't need Web Deployment Projects unless you want to build a precompile/merge step into deployment. If you're using web site projects, you still need to use Web Deployment Projects.
WDP's days are numbered, it will not be evolving.
