Visual studio 2010 web application deployment

I'm running Visual Studio 2010 sp开发者_如何学编程1 on Windows 7 23bit. I have recently converted my web application from Visual Studio 2008. When I try to compile my web app, by clicking on "publish website" it tells me "Publish succeeded" but the deployment folder is empty. I even checked to see whether I have syntax errors. I have none, that I could locate. I also did some extensive googling but no satisfactory answer. What is causing this? Am I missing something here? Is it a bug from Visual Studio 2010? Your help would be very much appreciated.

Regards

When I try to compile my web app, by clicking on "publish website" When you compile application it doesn't publish if you want to publish you need to go in Solution Explorer and right click mouse button, and press Publish

Do you have access to put files in the folder you are publishing to? i.e. a file permission issue.

Open your web application project property page.

There, under the tab Package/Publish Web you will see where is your app being published.
