Visual Studio 2017 - Not Able to see Publish Profiles


In my VS 2017, my publish profile is not being listed in the publish section of the VS 2017.

I can run the application with no error but I can't publish it or see and log file saying any error about when I do right click the project and click on publish. And also even if I wanted to create new profile VS just doesn't open create new profile window.

Any guess what might be causing this?

Solution

  • Just like @MikeB said, I checked that with XML validators on the web but then realized the problem was that I was using invalid XML tag and XML attributes in .pubxml after using the correct one problem was solved!

    Check whether you are using your XML node and attributes correctly!
