I’ve a problem with Visual Studio Express 2010 c# edition.
I’ve a project that reference a DLL. This DLL has an external Excel file marked as
Build Action = Content
Copy to Output Directory = Copy Always
When I build the solution, this Excel file is correctly copied into BIN\release solution folder.
BUT if I try to deploy the same solution, with Publish wizard, the Excel file is not copied in the install directory.
Please, could anyone help me?
Are you saying that the Excel file is referenced only by the dll you are including in your project? That is a secondary reference, and ClickOnce will not see it and automatically include the file.
First, on your dll, I’m assuming it is referenced directly by your project. If so, then be sure you have added it to your project and set the Build Action to “none” and “copy to output directory” to “do not copy”. Then delete your reference to it and re-add it, pointing it to the version now included in your project. Set the “copy local” property to “true”. This will ensure the dll itself gets deployed correctly.
For the Excel file, you are going to have to add it to your project. Set the build action to “content” and set “copy to output directory” as “copy always”. It will not be included automatically because it is a secondary reference to the ClickOnce app, not a direct/primary reference like the dll is.
