Re: Publishing a site first needs to erase all of it?

Hi,

I have not tried out the publish option, but I have used "copy web" to move newly built web projects to production servers via Frontpage extensions.

As I understand it, the "publish" option is supposed to create a package (DLL), and publish that instead of all the separate aspx/cs source code files? If that's the case it makes sense it would want to "clean" (erase) everything in the target folder to avoid any conflicts - there would not usually be any content (PDFs, JPEGs) in this target folder. However, it certainly should NOT erase anything in any folder that sits above the publishing target in the folder structure - if it does that's a serious problem!

The pre-stage site is an exact copy of the main site with FP extensions

publish their builds over to the main site.  I was asked to add some
logic into a few pages using VS2005 which on the pre-stage site worked
just fine.  When I used the Visual Studio build->publish website option
I was presented with the "vs will erase your entire website to publish
these 45 aspx pages".  So in order for VS to compile into dll's the
back-end C# code, it must erase the entire website structure, image
library folders, everything and then publish it back.

I didn't exclude anything and there is no publishing log file created
on either my machine, the pre-stage machine or the production machine.

And our vs code is in it's own set of folders along with our site
content while our images and files are in a different set of folders.
My issue is that VS sends to the production server only *some* of those
folders and not all even when I triple checked to see if any had been
flagged as excluded.
