How to change deploy server in visual studio 2010 for web part?

Question

I have a web part that I have been deploying to Server A. I now have a new SharePoint environment I would like to deploy my web part to (Server B). How can I set the web part solution to deploy to Server B rather than Server A? I have done this before but cannot find the place to do it.

Thanks.

If you select the Project in the Solution Explorer, from the Properties window below you can set the SharePoint site to deploy to.

Steps to create and deploy a Visual WebPart:

1. Start Visual Studio 2010, click File -> New -> Project.
2. Navigate to the Visual C# node in the Installed Templates section, click SharePoint, and then click 2010.

3. Select the Visual Web Part project template and provide a name (such as, SampleWebPart), a location for your project, and then click OK.

           //Add the Web's title as the display text for the tree node, and add the URL
             as the NavigateUri.
   
           node = new TreeNode(thisWeb.Title, null, null, thisWeb.Url, "_self");
   
           //The Visual Web Part has a treeview control called siteStructure.
   
           siteStructure.Nodes.Add(node);
   
           //Get a reference to the current node, so child nodes can be added in the
             correct position.
   
           TreeNode parentNode = node;

           {
   
               //Call the addWebs() function from itself (i.e. recursively)
   
               //to add all child Webs until there are no more to add.
   
               addWebs(childWeb, parentNode);
   
               childWeb.Dispose();
   
           }
