Deploying ASP.NET MVC web project by remotely building committed VisualSVN code

Question

Publishing my entire application to a server in the U.S. every time I change a single line of code is taking FOREVER.

I'm running VisualSVN server on my production server. How can I auto-build my project (to a development site folder) on the server whenever a commit is made? And is this a good practice?

Update: I'm now looking into the Web Deployment Tool.

I'm now using Visual Studio's 1-Click publishing to deploy my working copy, which speeds up employment quite a bit. — Petrus Theron, Nov 22 '10 at 18:51

I think you're describing the need for a Continuous Integration Server.

Have a look at TeamCity or CruiseControl.Net.

My projects are mostly one-man shows. Is there a simpler way to deploy without setting up an entire CI service? – Petrus Theron Apr 08 '10 at 08:27
