Publishing my Web Site

Okay, looks like VS 2008 finally includes an automated feature to precompile
my site before publishing. Cool.

However, when I run this dialog box and click OK, it then complains that
access is denied by my database file (in the App_Data folder). And
everything appears to end there with no additional information. (I don't see
that the database is in use other than it is attached to SQL Server 2005.)

My database file should *not* be transferred to the site. The data has
already been copied via an involved process. But I seem to be given no
options regarding which files should not be transferred and the entire
process just stops if a file that cannot be copied is encountered.

Is there some trick to making this work?

Thanks.

I'm not really clear on what that is but it is something quite different
from the Build|Publish Website command.

Yes, that's exactly what it is - an add-in to Visual Studio.NET designed
specifically to simplify the precise task with which you're currently having
difficulty...
