.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / November 2006ClickOnce - How to add config file to list of files that get published
This (seemingly) simple item has escaped me after pouring over tons of posts about ClickOnce. How does one add a config file (myapp.exe.config) to the list of executables and dlls that get published with a ClickOnce application? All I want to do has have a standard config file get dropped down in the folder where the application gets run from. I don't want to have to edit the manifest every time I publish. When you go to the publish tab in the project settings and click on the "Application Files" button, it seems to find the EXE, and DLLs correctly. How can I make sure that my config file gets added to that list as well? TIA Roy Did you try clicking the Applications Files button? Normally though if your have an App.config in your solution, it will automatically pick up the config file for clickonce.

I clicked the button. That's how I found my exe and dlls listed. Does the config file actually need to be named "App.config" or can it be called MyApp.exe.config? roy > Did you try clicking the Applications Files button?

When you build, VS will automatically rename that file to whatever the configuration should be called after it copies the file to the bin folder. HTH Andy > Uh, yeah. I clicked the button.

I was also able to add the config file as it was named (i.e. myaapp.exe.config) and give it a build action of "Content" and make sure it was copied to the output directory. This also added it to the list of Application files. But your way is cleaner and appears to be the standard way, so I'll use that.
