Publish files to bin folder when source files are in a sub-folder with ClickOnce with WPF app -


i have found numerous articles on stackoverflow , elsewhere stating if wanted output files bin folder using clickonce, should set

buildaction: content

copytoouputdirectory : copy if newer

but of binaries located in dependencies subfolder located in root of project , when publish content, being outputted

<wpf app folder>\dependencies instead of being in <wpf app folder> causing app not function properly.

any suggestions on how can change force clickonce output specific files <wpf app folder>\ irrespective of source files located.

i found work-around don't need move on. circumvent problem added required libraries root of project links , still set buildaction content , copytooutputdirectory copy if newer.

i thought i'd explain example may make bit more sense.

project path: c:\work\myapp , contains following sub-folders:

d:\work\myapp\myapp.csproj d:\work\myapp\myapp.xaml ... d:\work\myapp\bin\debug d:\work\myapp\bin\release d:\work\myapp\bin\release\myapp.exe d:\work\myapp\depedencies\liba.dll d:\work\myapp\depedencies\libb.dll etc...

the libraries third-party tools , contained in own folder:

d:\tools\mythirdpartylib\distributation\liba.dll d:\tools\mythirdpartylib\distributation\libb.dll

by having libraries in d:\work\myapp\dependencies did not work clickonce install app in:

c:\users\\appdata\local\apps\2.0...\myapp.exe

and installed files located in dependencies sub-folder in:

c:\users\\appdata\local\apps\2.0...\dependencies\liba.dll c:\users\\appdata\local\apps\2.0...\dependencies\libb.dll

which caused app not work.

to around it, ended adding liba.dll , libb.dll root of project "linked files" , set buildaction , copytooutputdirectory not pointing linked files

d:\work\myapp\depedencies\liba.dll d:\work\myapp\depedencies\libb.dll

but instead pointing them:

d:\tools\mythirdpartylib\distributation\liba.dll d:\tools\mythirdpartylib\distributation\libb.dll

and seems have done trick. beef i've got 10 odd files listed in root of project in visual studio don't like:

myapp solution     - myapp project         - myapp.csproj         - myapp.xaml         - ...         - liba.dll         - libb.dll         - ...

but have now.

hope helps others!
