VS' publish website feature not copying static files

Hi all,

I want to publish my asp.net 2.0 website using the "publish website"
feature of visual studio 2005. everything works fine so far, but the
IDE only compiles and copies the aspx, ascx, resources etc. files to
the destination directory. It does actually not copy .txt, .htm or
graphics files. MSDN says these files should be copied during the
publishing task, but they are definitely not copied. Neither does it
offer any troubleshooting steps. Is there a hidden setting somewhere?
Or do I misunderstand the "publish website" feature? I guess not,
because copying graphic files would actually make sense.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Hannes

In the Properties panel, there is a Build Action option. Make sure this is
set to "Content". This will ensure that the file gets copied when you
Publish the project.

Note: Do not set the Copy to Output option to copy unless you want the file
copied to the Bin folder.

There is not Build Action Option in the properties for web files
(except my project settings are wrong).

VS 2005 Professional RTM (8.0.50727.42) on Windows 2000 ASP.NET website Last week I converted a 1.1 ASP.NET (VB) project to 2.0. The conversion was painless on the VB code side.

Basically, how do I know that the release versions of all components are being published? The Build | Configuration Manager is confusing me a little in VS2005. I have three projects in my solution: 1) web service website. 2) SOAP Extension Class Lib that compiles to a dll 3) WinForm application with a proxy to test the web service.

Hi, I've read many posts in several news groups, but can't figure out how to publish my website. The specific error I'm getting (on the "successfully published website") is "Could not load the assembly 'App_Web_vxfyglsm'. Make sure that it is compiled before accessing the page". I checked - The assembly DOES exist in the target web folder.

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,...
