I have a directory with about 20,000 other directories and files in it. I
need it in the root directory of the web application in order to write to
it. However, when I need to build the application. It takes forever. The
directory does not have anything in it that needs to be built. How can I
exclude the entire directory in ASP.NET 2.0, VS 2005.

Thanks,

Norm

Check out this post from Scott Guthrie. He covers a lot of options for
excluding files from the ASP.NET 2.0 web project. Make sure to check out
the comments for more info.
