Visual Studio 2013发布问题

Question

I converted a VS2010 ASP.Net MVC3 project to VS2013 MVC4. Now when I publish, it is copying the contents of my project to the bin folder.

I can't understand what I did to make it do this..How do I fix it so it doesn't do it?

Answer 1

Your files are incorrectly set to copy to the output folder ( \\bin ) during build. Make sure that the Copy To Output setting on each file is set to Do Not Copy .

Normally, you don't need to copy much of anything to your bin folder. When publishing, all of the content pages (*.aspx, *.html, *.css, etc) will get picked up by publish just by existing in the project. This is determined by the Build Action being set to Content . (Note: you can exclude files by setting the Build Action to None )

For code files, there's 2 ways it could go. in a Web Application project (which MVC is) most code files, such as controllers, models, or code behind files in WebForms, are compiled into your site's DLL already. These have Build Action = Compile , meaning they get compiled up front and don't need to be included in the publish. The exception to this is files in App_Code, which are deployed to your site ( Build Action = Content ) and compiled at runtime. You can also choose to pre-compile your site in the publish settings (Settings -> File Publish Options -> Precompile during publishing), which will process the App_Code files automatically (ie you can leave them as Build Action = Content and VS will compile them and publish the output instead).
