title: How to setup build pipeline in Azure dev ops
body: <p>I am trying to setup my build and release pipelines in Azure dev ops to publish my webforms application to a file system on a VM on my companies network. Currently this is accomplished through Visual Studio by going to Build > Publish ...</p>
  
  <p>I have a build pipeline set up previously I was using to catch build issues. But now I want to actually publish the builds from the cloud automatically when the master branch is updated.</p>
  
  <p>I have an agent installed on a local VM and I can get Azure dev ops to run on this agent but I have some confusion as to what to do next. I've tried playing around with the Build Solution Task parameters, MSBuild task parameters and so on but it doesn't actually publish it. </p>
  
  <p>The farthest I've gotten is to publish the build to a build folder on the agent but this only contains the solution and associated files, not the built output that would be published to the file system location. </p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to understand how to actually publish the solution once it's been built and placed on the agent. </p>
  
  <p>It also doesn't help that I can't find very good resources on the build variables that all of the default tasks are using.</p>
