Visual Studio 2010 has a Publish command that allows you to publish your Web Application Project to a file system location. I’d like to do this on my TeamCity build server, so I need to do it with the solution runner or msbuild. I tried using the Publish target, but I think that might be for ClickOnce:
I’m using Visual Studio’s Publish button to deploy my website, and want a different App_Data folder on the server. There’s a checkbox for Leave extra files on destination (do not delete) which prevents my App_Data folder from getting deleted, but then it’ll eventually accumulate a lot of vestigial files as the website changes.
I am currently attempting to use Visual Studio 2010 ‘Publish’ and MSDeploy functionality to handle my web deployment needs but have run into a roadblock with regards to customizing the package depending on my build configuration.
I want to get web.config transformations working locally but apparently the transformations only occur when doing deployments.
I’ve inherited a very large VS2012 web site project (not web application) and am trying to automate it’s deployment. There are tons of circular references in the project so to get it to precompile using aspnet_compiler.exe I have to turn on fixednames. The problem with that is it causes the build to take about 20 minutes on my quad core, 16gb ram, ssd developer machine. The previous developer didn’t have to deal with this as he would just copy the whole source to the production web server.
I have an application setup with the following Package/Publish Web settings:
Is there a way to set MSDeploy parameters in .csproj file itself of ASP.NET MVC project? Particularly a “skip” parameter, which should skip a “Temp” folder.
