.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / June 2006ClickOnce doesn't include data files
I have an application that I'd like to deploy via ClickOnce from a NETWORK share server. I've walked through the wizard and deployed the application, but when I run the app all of my data files are missing. I have XML, TXT and custom data files that my application uses during execution. How do I get ClickOnce to install those data files along with my DLLs and EXE file?

How do I get > ClickOnce to install those data files along with my DLLs and EXE file? Have you added the files as "content" files to your project? Can you see them in the "Application Files" dialog that appears if you click the Project Settings/Publish/"Application Files ..." button? The files are not linked to my EXE project. The files are associated with libraries that are linked into my overall project build. I noticed that data files linked directly to the EXE project are brought over as data files, but files associated with libraries are not. I'm thinking I need to redesign my program to either put the files into resources or have them reference in the main EXE project. What do you think?

I usually add Data files ( like an Access database for example) to a folder in my project and on startup of my application I use Application.StartupPath or : (be sure to include System.Reflection at the top of the Class where this is used) Path.GetDirectoryName([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().Location) to direct my program to the database. That way, when I used ClickOnce Deployment, the folder and the database will be included in the installation. james Hi Steve, Thank you for posting. Yes, I think you should add the XML, TXT and custom data files to your EXE project in order to publish these files along with your DLLs and EXE file via ClickOnce.
