Whenever I publish my web application I select "only files needed to run application". Upon publishing then it all works fine except for the bin/ folder contains a.svn folder. Is there a way to keep it from copying the .svn folder?

No I do not believe this is possible. The standard way of hiding a folder or file from the publisher is to prefix the folder name with a _ (yes that really is the case). IIRC this would break .svn and hence tarnish your enlistment.
I do want to ask why do you have a .svn folder inside bin\? This folder should only contain the binary outputs of the build process and other generated artifacts. Typically it's not the type of stuff you include in source control.

If you're using Tortoise, you can configure it to use _svn instead of .svn, which might help

You should probably delete the bin folder from SVN and mark the bin folder with svn-ignore.

The bin folder contains external third-party assemblies. All auto-generated assemblies I have within it are svn-ignore'd

@Earlz, why not create a reference folder not under bin for these assemblies and add a pre-build step to copy them to `\bin`? This should fix your scenario.

+1 for bin not to be included under version control. One option is to keep third party tools and libraries in a separate folder (lib? tools?) and leave bin to be cleaned up and rebuilt with every build cycle.
