Visual Studio 2012 partial publish

Question

when i publish my ASP.NET (webforms) website with Visual Studio 2012 always all files are uploaded. Even Images?

Is there a way to only publish changed files?

Answer 1

Just FYI: Microsoft added that feature in VS 2012 Update #2 :

Answer 2

For the record, the "only publish changed files" check-box that was in VS2012's Publish profile has been removed from VS2012's Publish profile. One step forward, two steps back.

Answer 3

No, the Publish Wizard in Visual Studio does not offer this.

A suggestion is to publish locally and only update the changed files manually.
