Visual Studio Web Deploy not publishing all Files

When I publish my ASP.net MVC 3.0 Application to IIS 7 using Visual Studio Web Deploy settings one Partial View File is not updated.

Is it possible to debug why it failed for one particular file?

I had manually edited the Target Location and left off the colon after the drive letter. It never gave an error but never published.

What worked for me in Visual Studio 2022 was to right-click the file/folder in question and publish that separately.

For me right click on file and publish the file directly resolved this issue.

for me there was this line in .pubxml file, be sure to check the file contents as some settings are not visible from the configuration editor:

<ExcludeFoldersFromDeployment>Scripts/plugins;Content/icons;fonts</ExcludeFoldersFromDeployment>

I had a similar problem. I eventually fixed it by tweaking my publish profile in the file Properties\Publish Profiles\ReleaseProfile.pubxml.user.

There was a line in that file that referenced the file that wouldn't publish:

<File Include="Online.master">
    <publishTime>01/01/0001 00:00:00</publishTime>
</File>

I changed the date to one that was still in the past but wasn't ancient:

<File Include="Online.master">
    <publishTime>01/01/2020 00:00:00</publishTime>
</File>

and the file published successfully on my next attempt.

Select the view that is not publishing to server,
go to properties (click F4) of the view
under properties
check the properties set for it:

  1. Build Action : this should be Content
  2. Copy to Output Directory: this should be like the other file are configured (I believe it should be Do not copy)

Then publish it.
