Web Deployment Project - Include Files

Using VS 2008 SP1.

I have a Web Application project (not Website project).
I added a web deployment project to the solution.
The web deployment project INCLUDES files that reside in folders of the WAP,
but are set to be 'EXCLUDED' from the project.

How can I make the web deployment project not include those files?

Thanks for any assisstance.
 
Thanks for the quick reply Mark.
In this case that won't work.
I have the SQL Server database file in one of the project folders, but set
to 'exclude'. Since SQL Server is running, it has a lock on the file, so
when I try to build the project, the build fails due to not being able to
copy the files.
If there are no other solutions, I guess I will need to move the database
files.

You can try this:

<ItemGroup>
<ExcludeFromBuild
Include="$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)\MySecretFile.txt"/>

</ItemGroup>

Thanks Allen,

That worked.
I was even able to figure out how to exclude groups of files and an entire
folder.
