Why doesn't ClickOnce in Visual Studio deploy content files from dependent assemblies?

Question

I have a smart client application that is deployed via click once. The problem is that i have content files in dependent assemblies that just don\'t show up in the publishe

Answer 1

I seemed to have found an evolution of the answer from @John Hunter that is much simpler, add this to the csproj.

This will then make visual studio automatically view all *.rpt files in that folder as part of the solution. You could go with *.* to accumulate everything. This makes more sense if you have a container folder like bin\MyDeployables\**\*.*

We followed a similar usage for using Cassette MSBuild to combine and minifiy our JS at publish time, and be able to publish the created files through the built in VS publish tooling.
