Deploying Documentation on IIS

If you do not want to deal with Jekyll configurations and mess up the _plugins/slug.rb file you can deploy the built site under IIS.

To achieve that you can follow these steps:

Make sure you have an URL Rewrite Module installed;

If you are not sure if the module is installed, check if there is such an option in any of the already deployed sites:

To install it, just download the installation—http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite—from Microsoft and follow the installation steps.
Build the Jekyll site, without modifying the Jekyll configuration (_config.yml) or any of the plugins (_plugins\slug.rb):
```
 jekyll build
```
If you need to run the build with a watch, use this command:
```
 jekyll build --watch
```
This will lead you to a generated site in the _site folder, located in the root.
Add the Jekyll site to IIS:
1. Note down the base url configured in Jekyll. By default, it is set to /devtools/aspnet-ajax;
2. Add a Virtual Directory named devtools, and configure its Physical path to navigate to the parent folder of the repository;
  
  Important: If the name of the application is different, the requests to the CSS and JavaScript files will fail.
3. When created, IIS should automatically find the web application named aspnet-ajax;
4. Browse the aspnet-ajax applicaiton in the browser.
