VS2010 Web Deployment Gem: Publishing Profiles

When developing ASP.NET web sites you're likely going to have multiple deployment targets. I develop on the integrated web server, but I deploy to a staging server for QA and then to prep for publishing I post the to a network URL.

Take a moment to set up and save Publishing Profiles and you'll easily be able to target your deployment.

1) Click on Build -> Publish [YOUR PROJECT NAME]
2) Rename the profile
3) Select the publishing options as required
4) Save the profile
5) Rather, rinse, repeat!

Good luck!
