Question

I have a Web Application that I regularly update and publish to my website.

I also have a /projects directory in various projects I’m working on. Some of these projects are Web Applications (or Web Sites) themselves.

Directory Structure is like this:

/www
    default.aspx
    /static...
    /bin...
    /etc...
    /projects
             /skynet <- web site
             /deathstar_OS <- web application
             /johnny_5 <- web site

What is the correct way to set something like this up for one-click-publishing? Right now, when I Publish the www application it will (try to) compile everything (including the web sites and applications) together and publish it (I have to publish via ftp, btw).

Answer 1

By not including the a project’s directory in the /projects directory as part of the main web application they are not overwritten when publishing the main application.
