When I publish with VS, an app_offline.htm file is generated on my IIS website root folder. There is a way to custom this last please ?

  • I already tryed every solutions posted on this one nothing worked but they are all about a very old VS version .. That's why I try to create a more recent one about lastest VS versions. – Coissard Mathieu Sep 27 '19 at 08:42

In previous versions this was only changeable by tracking down the file in the VS installation.

I've not seen anything to suggest this has changed in 2019.

  • In my current version of VS there is no more App_Offline file in VS installation folder. – Coissard Mathieu Sep 27 '19 at 08:36
  • Not here either! There has certainly never been an official way to customise, and with the emphasis on CI/CD these days rather than tools in the IDE it seems unlikely there will be much priority on VS's publish tooling. – Richard Sep 27 '19 at 08:57

I'm afraid we can no longer customize VS app_offline template any more. But I think you can create a custom app_offline.htm in the root folder of your project. Then You only have to specify the operation to this file in your web deploy publish profile.

Is there a way to make the VS2010 publish wizard to copy App_offline.htm while it is publishing the site?
