Visual Studio 2017和nuget包

Question

I am creating nuget package which should contain also config file. Problem is that if I want to use csproj for nuget package definition, I don't know how to specify that config file should be copied and "copy to output directory" on file set when package is being installed.

Previously I used nuspec and for install.ps1.

Thanks ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/guides/create-net-standard-packages-vs2017 )

To include a file, you need to add / modify an update item for the file. If you have set "copy to output directory" to "preserve newest", you might already have one in the csproj file. To include this file into the resulting nuget package, you need to set the Pack="true" metadata:

<ItemGroup>
  <None Update="config.txt" CopyToOutputDirectory="PreserveNewest" Pack="true" />
</ItemGroup>

Note that depending on your project type (=> web sdk or "normal" sdk is being used) you may see different item types ( None , Content ) for files.
