Hi,
I have recently changed from VS Pro 2012 to VS Express 2013 Web. I use FTP not Web Deploy to upload sites... but I do use the VS built in Publish tool, not an FTP client, like Filezilla, etc..
I am aware that, with a Web Application Project (as opposed to a Web Site Project), I can't upload a single file if I make changes to a site.
However, my experience of VS 2012 Pro was that, if I made a small change to a Web Application Project and then used One Click Publish, the Publish tool would fly through the files it had previously uploaded and, even on a large site, the whole Publish would take less than a minute.
Now, it is as though the Publish is the first time I have published the files: the Publish takes literally hours EVERY time I Publish the files regardless of how small the change was.
Am I doing something wrongly with VS Express 2013 Web? Is there a setting not required in VS Pro 2012 that IS required i the Express version? I can find nothing online about this.
I am aware of the new ability to right click a file and Publish that file, even in Web Application Projects, but this doesn't work for Code Behind (CS) files.
Thanks.
