Good morning guys.
My app uses an Excel data file which has been added to the project by doing an "Add Existing Item". When I publish the app the Excel file doesn't make it into the deployment. I don't see the Excel file when I click on Show all Files under Application Files in Publish. I don't know how to get this Excel file into the Deployment. Maybe it's not possible? Can someone tell me how to get this Excel data file into the Deployment, Please.
you have to add excel file and you also to indicate where it goes to be placed when you are going to create your intall wizard or publish your app.
Can you give me a step by step on how and where to do this? Because I don't see how to do that. I'm using VS2010 Ultimate if it makes a difference.
Bin\Debug or Bin\Release are RUN-TIME Locations, usually
Create a folder in the project, and leave a blank spreadsheet there...
what DGlienna and hensa22 are telling you is showed in the following picture, where I have a file added to the solution that goes to bin\debug (or bin\release) when I compile if I modified it.
I added it once there and then included in project, then selected it and looked at properties
Thanks everyone for helping me.
