If your application contains data or a database. For instance an SQL Server Compact database (a .sdf file in App_Data folder), consider the following:
Do you want to publish your test data to the remote server?
Most likely not.
If you have test data on your development computer, it may overwrite production data on your remote hosting computer.
If you have to copy an SQL database (.sdf file), perhaps you should delete everything in the database, and then copy the empty .sdf file from your development computer to the server.
THAT'S IT. GOOD LUCK !
