Deployments have always been somewhat of a pain, so I did some research on what Visual Studio 2010 has to offer in this area, and found a great resource below. Now, with VS2010, there's the ability to do web.config transformations, which has always been a pain point for me, along with some functionality for Database script deployment and things like that. You can read the details on how to do it below, but I give it my thumbs up.
There's also another option that I've used in the past - PUBLISH. I believe starting with 2005, Microsoft came out with the Publish feature in Visual Studio, which I've used in the past to do quick deployments to remote servers and things like that. I would recommend the Publish functionality for small projects or deployments that don't require a lot of changes - it really is the quickest way to do a deployment. What I liked about 2010, is that now I can create separate publish profiles and label them like DEV, TEST, UAT, etc, which helps keep things organized - which I've heard is a good thing.
Anyways, here's the link. Enjoy!
