To deploy a .NET web app one typically copies all the files over to
the web server.  You could put everything into a ZIP file and just
unzip on your application server.

Using one of the MVC frameworks, like MonoRail or ASP.NET MVC, is
probably your best bet (either one - they're both good IMHO).  There
are plenty of IoC frameworks for .NET - I've used (and like) both
Castle Windsor and StructureMap.  If you go the MonoRail route, odds
are you'll naturally fall into Castle Windsor.

Coming from the Java space, you're probably familiar with Hibernate,
so I would say you should check out NHibernate.
