Question

I have various files in my Visual Studio Solutions that have to be copied to the bin/Debug folder if I change it.

I tried to set Copy to Output Directory - Copy always but it doesnt work. So how can i make sure that when building these files are copied to bin/debug?

Here a screenshot from one example:

Answer 1

Make sure the build action for the files are marked as content, otherwise they will not be copied while building.

Content – The file is not compiled, but is included in the
Content output group. For example,
this setting is the default value for
an .htm or other kind of Web file.
