This extension allows to publish selected files from the solution explorer or to publish the active file in the editor. It comes in handy when working on static files like CSS or JavaScript files, without the need to re-publish the whole project to see the changes.

This project is now open source: https://github.com/phzh/VS-PublishExtensions2013

Features

Publish selected files or folders to local or network folders
Exclude single files or folders in the solution explorer
Exclude files or folders by a project wide filter (i.e. '*.cs')
Specify mappings that files or folders are renamed during publishing
Quickly publish the active document in the editor by using the context menu or pressing Ctrl-Shift-P
Separate configuration for each project
Configure a different publish location for each developer of the project

Important: This extension is not intended to replace the publish feature of Visual Studio. Therefore projects published with this extension are not garanteed to run.

This extension was developed for internal use at the PH Zürich (www.phzh.ch) and we decided to make it available to the public. Therefore support for this extension is very limited.
