Publish Web using Remote doesn't work in VS 2005...

[Rob R. Ainscough]

What is it with Microsoft, do they normally publish tools that don't work
and provide migrations that don't work either? Publish Web just goes to
never never land once I log into my server after the User/Password login
screen -- just a partially repainted VS 2005 screen and nothing else, no
errors, no warnings, nothing. Just one more feature that doesn't work.

I think I passed my limit of sanity some time ago. As far as ASP 1.1 to ASP
2.0 migration (just see my post below) -- direct migration and it causes my
web server to puke the following "Could not load type
'WebApplication1.Global'..." -- this is a direct migration and MS can't
even get their own products right -- this is pathetic!

I would give an arm and a leg to "talk" to the VS dev team. VERY
frustrated!

Hi Rob,

For some reason Publish Site... takes an inordinately long amount of
time if you're doing a remote publish, but it eventually 'unfreezes' VS
and finishes the process. I don't know why it takes so damn long, and
it's pretty frustrating, but it should work...

Good luck,

Alex

Alex,

Thanks for the response, after about 20 minutes I gave up and ended the task
via Task Manager.
