How to include custom folders when publishing a MVC application?

问题

I have an "Uploads" folder with logos within in. I would like the VS2012 one-click publish to include this folder. Currently it is not.

How can I achieve this?

回答1:

I believe you need to set the folder's "Build Action" to "Content":

What are the various "Build action" settings in Visual Studio project properties and what do they do?

I did this for a web api project (not dot net core) which had Angular 6 as a front end. My visual studio version was 2017.

I had created a wwwroot folder where I was compiling angular files via custom build action & this folder was not included in my project.

I edited the project file & added these lines.

<PropertyGroup>
    <PipelineCollectFilesPhaseDependsOn>
    CustomCollectFiles;
    $(PipelineCollectFilesPhaseDependsOn);
  </PipelineCollectFilesPhaseDependsOn>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <Target Name="CustomCollectFiles">
    <Message Text="Inside of CustomCollectFiles" Importance="high" />
    <ItemGroup>
      <_CustomFiles Include="wwwroot\**\*" />
      <FilesForPackagingFromProject Include="%(_CustomFiles.Identity)">
        <DestinationRelativePath>wwwroot\%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)</DestinationRelativePath>
      </FilesForPackagingFromProject>
    </ItemGroup>
  </Target>

Go to Project Properties > Package / Publish Web

Then select the configuration combo that you want to setup up.

Below you have the Items to deploy. I just tested here with "All files in this project folder" and everything was published.

The only downside is that everything is getting deployed, I don't know if this is what you want.

in my case i Created a folder in the bin folder and needed to include that folder in the publish. and that code is worked for me.

<Target Name="CustomCollectFiles">
   <ItemGroup>
     <_CustomFiles Include=".\bin\Dlls\**\*" />
       <FilesForPackagingFromProject Include="%(_CustomFiles.Identity)">
         <DestinationRelativePath>bin\Dlls\%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension) 
         </DestinationRelativePath>
       </FilesForPackagingFromProject>
  </ItemGroup>
</Target>
<PropertyGroup>
  <CopyAllFilesToSingleFolderForPackageDependsOn>CustomCollectFiles;
   ;</CopyAllFilesToSingleFolderForPackageDependsOn>
  <CopyAllFilesToSingleFolderForMsdeployDependsOn>CustomCollectFiles;
   ;</CopyAllFilesToSingleFolderForMsdeployDependsOn>
</PropertyGroup>

hope that helps someone.
