In this article, we will show you how to automate custom SharePoint application deployments by taking advantage of the SharePoint API. Following this approach allows you to avoid having to create and maintain a custom site definition. You benefit from a more modular set of components to deploy and manage in your source control system, which is an essential part of a continuous integration effort. Finally, you are following a model that Microsoft will continue to improve in the coming years.
We will explain how you can leverage the SharePoint object model to automate deployment from Web application creation to Feature activation. The Visual Studio® code project included with this article provides a number of code samples that demonstrate how to automate some essential tasks in a custom deployment.
Along the way, we will explore tools and techniques provided by Microsoft and members of the SharePoint developer community that we have found to be especially valuable in your quest toward a fully automated deployment.
