.Net Application Publish long path issue

Web Application Publish Issue:  

The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

Solution:

1. Unload your web/webjob project
2. Select “Edit <yourprojectfilename>.csproj”
3. Add the following entry under the first <PropertyGroup> that exists in the xml file:<IntermediateOutputPath>..\Temp</IntermediateOutputPath>
4. Reload the project
5. Clean the project and rebuild
6. Try the deployment/publish again – it should work now.
