Build succeeds, but publish fails

Question

Up until two days ago, I was able to use Visual Studio 2010\'s \"Publish Web\" option by right clicking on my project and clicking the publish button on the context menu. No

Answer 1

I deleted all the existing publish profiles in visual studio -> solution explorer -> My Project Node -> Properties -> Publish Profiles The same can be done by right clicking Project in solution explorer -> Publish -> Profile tab -> Manage Profiles -> Remove all profiles Now download the relevant profile from Azure or choose from your directory if it's already save on your machine and choose it. Then clean and rebuild the project. Make sure you've chosen the project is built in Release mode and you've also chosen "Release" Publish -> Settings -> Configuration Now Publish, it worked for me.
