Visual Studio 2013 Preview: No Publish To File System?
visual-studio-2013
Solution
This can be accomplished easily:
- Right click on project in Solution Explorer
- Click Publish
- Under Profile select `<New Custom Profile...>`
- Create profile name (can be anything, dev.domainname.com)
- Under Connection > Publish Method > select File System
- Enter the Target location `\\server\sharedfolder\`
The rest of the settings are common as they were in the past.
The next time you go to publish just select the profile and you are done.
Problem
So I've built my project and I want to use the VS2008/2010/2012 "Publish To File System" option in Visual Studio 2013 Preview to push my project to a staging server for testing... but I can't find it anywhere in any of the menus. It's bad enough that they've randomly rearranged the menu structures and items for TFS, but this change basically makes it impossible for me to recommend 2013 to anyone, much less the CTO, as an upgrade path.
