Re: settings of visual studio publish

Hi,

Some publish settings do not have a UI in VS to configure them, but they can be configured in the xml view of the .csproj file.

I exclude user.config and lots of other files this way. Basically we publish all files minus exclusions, so we have extensive exclusions to leave out the .cs files and other files that are not needed in deployment.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: settings of visual studio publish

Hi everyone, I wanted to follow up on this one and see what the best way is to customize folder exclusions, preferably without editing a bunch of delivered .csproj files! Long story short: I have a local development workstation, a test server, and a production server. Periodically, I copy down the database and /Data/Sites folders from production to my local development server for testing and development. So of course, when I later publish from VS to the test and prod servers, I want to exclude all files under /Data/Sites to avoid data loss.

Currently, I'm publishing to a temporary folder on the server, manually deleting the /Data/Sites/* folders, then backing up and copying over the top of the mojoPortal directory. Ultimately, I'd really like to avoid publishing /Data/Sites/* at all.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Jamie
