Exclude Files from Copy Project?

Is it possible to exclude certain files from the "Copy Project" command,
like can be done in FrontPage when publishing a web? How?

This would be very convenient. For example, I have settings in my WebConfig
file that need to be different on my server than on my development machine.
So I'd like to exclude that file when doing a Copy Project. I also have
other files that I know aren't changed that I would like to avoid having to
upload each time (some control DLLs in my BIN directory give me an error
when I try to upload in Copy Project, so I'd like to skip those in
particular).

TIA,
Chuck

I made a .BAT file for deploying, in the end it worked smoother for me.

In VS 2003, I was able to exclude full folders from a project but I can't do the same in VS 2005. I can exclude files but not folders. I prefer to exclude at the folder level because the folder icon has visual indicator. John Dalberg

Hello All, Can someone please explain what these .exclude/.include files are? They only show up in some web site projects, and it seems to be related to deleting. Any ideas?

In VS 2005 if you exclude files from a project, it actually renames the file to filename.exclude. In previous versions, it just left the file alone but excluded it. If you have a very large ASP.net web site you may have thousands of images. In our case we have millions because the nature of the site is that users upload their photo albums to share with other users. I NEVER want the IDE to enumerate these files for any reason, including...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
