 ASP.NET Core apps must be deployed to Azure App Service as compiled binaries. The Visual Studio publishing tool builds the solution and then deploys the compiled binaries directly. The App Service deployment engine deploys the code repository first and then compiles the binaries.

-If you configure an app setting with the same name in App Service and in `appsettings.json`, for example, the App Service value takes precedence over the `appsettings.json` value. By using the local `appsettings.json` value, you can debug the app locally, but by using the App Service value, you can run the app in production with production settings. Connection strings work the same way. By using this method, you can keep your application secrets outside your code repository and access the appropriate values without changing your code.

 ## Deploy multi-project solutions
 
-When a Visual Studio solution includes multiple projects, the Visual Studio publish process automatically selects the project to deploy. When you deploy to the App Service deployment engine, such as with Git, or with ZIP deploy [with build automation enabled](deploy-zip.md#enable-build-automation-for-zip-deploy), the App Service deployment engine picks the first website or web application project that it finds as the App Service app. You can specify which project App Service should use by specifying the `PROJECT` app setting.

 ## Access a detailed exceptions page
 
-When your ASP.NET Core app generates an exception in the Visual Studio debugger, the browser displays a detailed exception page, but in App Service that page is replaced by a generic "HTTP 500" or "An error occurred while processing your request." To display the detailed exception page in App Service, add the `ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT` app setting to your app by running the following command in <a target="_blank" href="https://shell.azure.com" >Cloud Shell</a>.

If your app logic needs to know if user requests are encrypted, configure the Forwarded Headers Middleware in `Startup.cs`:
 
 - Configure the middleware with [`ForwardedHeadersOptions`](/dotnet/api/microsoft.aspnetcore.builder.forwardedheadersoptions) to forward the `X-Forwarded-For` and `X-Forwarded-Proto` headers in `Startup.ConfigureServices`.
 - Add private IP address ranges to the known networks, so that the middleware can trust the App Service load balancer.
