I have read the publishing profiles have replaced WDP
but I cannot find decent tutorial
how to add and modify pubxml
file to my project
any help will be appreciated
Publish profile files are named <profilename>. pubxml and are located in the PublishProfiles folder. The PublishProfiles folder is under Properties in a C# web application project, under My Project in a VB web application project, or under App_Data in a web site project.
Publish uses profiles (. pubxml files) to allow for multiple project configurations and multiple publish targets for a single project. The contents of the profile are XML and based on MSBuild. The Publish profile keeps credentials in a separate, hidden by default file that doesn't get checked-in.
In order to create a new profile once you have already defined one, you have to open the "Publish" window (righ click on the project), click on the "Profile" tab and select the <New...>
option from the drop-down list; this will create a new pubxml
file (see screenshot).
It's a bit tricky to find and I wonder why they didn't put a "New" button on the "Manage profiles" window.
When you right-click a project and select Publish, you get the Publish Web wizard. Using this to create a profile (you don't have to actually publish in order to create a profile) creates the .pubxml, and on the first step of the wizard you can use the Manage Profiles button to rename or delete profiles. Profiles are created in a PublishProfiles folder under Properties. See
