Step 5: Build and Deploy the ECB Menu Solution

Applies to: SharePoint Server 2010

This topic shows how to build and deploy a SharePoint Server 2010 solution that uses Word Automation Services.

Building and Deploying the Solution

Once you have followed the previous steps in this walkthrough, you can build and deploy the resulting solution.

With the ConvertItem solution selected in Solution Explorer in Visual Studio 2010, click Build and then click Deploy Solution.
On the SharePoint site where you deployed the solution, navigate to the source (input) document library.
Click the drop down box next to a document with a .docx extension. The "Convert Document" custom action appears.
Because you created the document conversion solution as a SharePoint Server 2010 feature available with farm-wide scope, you can enable the feature on other sites in the farm using the Manage Site Features page for the site and then enabling Convert Document.
