No files copied using Copy Project

Christopher,
Double check that you are doing everything as outlined in the following kb article

Also, double check that the IIS Application (which you are publishing too) is
pointing to the correct physical drive:path as your expecting.

Thanks Carl...I got it fixed.

Not sure why this worked but here is what happened.

My team is working on the same project under source control. For some
reason, a couple of folders had been created in SourceSafe under the main
project folder. It looked like one for each developer. In VS, these
sub-folders didn't show, only in SourceSafe. I noticed this when I went in
to SourceSafe trying to figure out why I couldn't deploy the application.

I removed the project from source control and deleted the SourceSafe
project. Then I re-added the project to source control. All of the files
were put into the correct project folder in SourceSafe and I can now deploy
the project properly.

This also clued me in to the mistake we were making when a new developer
started working on a project that someone else had initiated. Each
developer was adding the project to source control under the main project
folder (if you haven't guessed, this is our first .NET project). This was
creating a new project folder under the main one. VS.NET doesn't seem to
have a problem with this and chugs merrily away letting you think all files
are in the root of the project.

We'll know better next time.

Thanks,

Chris
