Publishing my ASP.NET MVC project doesn't publish all necessary files

I'm using the publishing wizard and it published all of the necessary files except for my Controllers folder. I was under the assumption that I need a controller.

I have navigated to Package/Publish Web setting, do I need to tweak anything in here? I'm guessing this isn't set up properly out of the box. If I change the drop down to publish all files in this folder/solution will it try to upload all the referenced DLLs that don't need to be copied to the server?

The controller and model code is compiled into the web site dll. The views are deployed in their folders.

In ASP.NET web projects, including MVC projects, .cs files (controllers in this case) are compiled into the /bin/[your.project].dll assembly when you do a Build or Publish.

So you don't need to publish/copy .cs files.
