Deploy config files along with exes and dlls on windows CE device

Question

Currently I am deploying my windows CE application on windows CE platform from vs 2008. It is running fine.

My only problem is I want to deploy config files along with exes and dlls. Currently when I deploy, only exes and dlls are deployed but not the config files.

Properties for each config files are "Content" and "Copy always".

Please help how can I deploy config files as well?

Answer 1

In your Solution Explorer, right-click the config file that you want to deploy and select properties. In the properties window, select ' Copy Always ' in ' Copy to Output Directory '

In your deployment project, make sure you include the folder where you've saved the config files. This link explains how to add items to your deployment

Note : If you are using Publish from your solution explorer, then select Build Action as None and Copy to Output Directory as Do not copy
