According this answer, it should be option "include files from the App_data folder" when you publish ASP.NET application. But I don't see it: enter image description here

Where it is?

I don't believe that option is in the newest of Visual Studio.

Instead, you should be able to change the Build Action to "Content" by right-clicking on the files in Solution Explorer and clicking "Properties."

This should then include them in the publishing process.
