Difference between publishing and deploying

Question

Differentiate between publishing and deploying an application?

Answer 1

In deployment, we can generate the latest setup and deployment project. We can add project output and generate the setup.exe file. After generating the executable file, we need to login into server and perform the setup.exe file to install application. While in publishing, we need to right-click application in Solution Explorer and choose Publish to publish application. Then, we specify the location where application is to be published. Users can then install application from location where we have published it and execute locally even when computer is offline.
