VS2010 Publish Profiles -- Where are they stored?

Question

We have set up a few Publish Profiles that are used to deploy web apps to various servers, and it all works great with 1-click deployment.

However, w find that even though the entire solution is under source control (svn), the profiles do not seem to be carried over, so we need to re-create the profiles on each developer's machine manually.

It seems, since the profiles only exist for the solution currently loaded, that they must be stored in the solution files somewhere, but they do not carry over when someone else does an update to pull down the code.

I'm guessing whatever file they're in is one we aren' covering in the source control project, but I haven't been able to figure out which one.

Someone must know where the Publish Profiles are stored -- is there any way to copy them from machine to machine so we don't have to retype them for each developer?

Answer 1

If I understand correctly, there should be a file called publish.xml in the WAP root project.

[As far as I can work out (haven't done this) you can copy this file to another machine, but the password is encrypted using a user's credenticals. They will have to type the password in once and save it.]
