title: Deploying umbraco with TeamCity
body: <p>First post on Stack, so please be gentle!</p>
  
  <p>We are just getting into Continuous Integration with TeamCity. We have setup a TeamCity project(s) that looks like so:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Solution Build (builds entire solution) - .Sln file
  <ul>
  <li>Debug to Dev Server (builds .csproj in Debug configuration and Deploys to test server using MSDeploy)</li>
  <li>Release to Production (builds .csproj in Release configuration and Deploys to production server using MSDeploy)</li>
  </ul></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Within our Umbraco Visual Studio project (which is a Web Application not the standard Website project type) we have the umbraco_client and umbraco folders excluded from the Project, primarily because they are already compiled and don't need to be re-compiled by our process. Both folders are however included in the SVN repo.</p>
  
  <p>The problem we are experiencing is that because these two folders are excluded from the Visual Studio project, TeamCity does not deploy them.</p>
  
  <p>So my question boils down to "how do you include folders in the TeamCity build package where the folders are in the SVN but excluded from the Visual Studio project?".</p>
  
  <p>Any pointers would be really appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
