Publishing Misses .pdf Files

I have a solution with multiple web apps. Some of the web apps have folders
containing .pdf files, etc. When I publish any of these web apps, the .pdf
files do not get copied; I have to remember to copy these files over manually.

Ideally I would like to keep the "Only files needed to run the application"
selected. I've selected the "All files in source project folder" which not
only brings in too much, but it fails because the SourceSafe .scc files
cannot be overwritten during publishing.

Is there a .manifest, .config or .ini file I can edit to tell Visual
Studio's publish process to include these types of files during publishing?

Try including the pdf files in your projects, and be sure to set the
build action as content in the properties window

Thanks Rad. Setting the build action to content was the key.

Hello, I am using VS2005 and am publishing my site to a remote server. The process appears to succeed. I am warned by visual studio that the publishing process will delete files in the destination folder, I say OK and the output reads: Publish: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped. So why is my bin folder empty? And no ASPX files either (I am leaving the editable option checked). I can publish locally. What I would like to do is set the...

I've been using the VS2005 Publish utility on one of my projects for about six months. I have a large site with hundreds of files, thousands if you include the code behind files. So I thought I'd use the publish utility and pre-compile my site, but make it updateable. I thought I would be increasing the access time for each page. Here is what I've found. 1. If I publish a pre-compiled, updateable version of the site, it takes 50...

There are essentially three techniques for publishing Access Data on the Web. The first technique is static, and does not allow for the dynamic addition or modification to the data, There is no direct link to the data, and in order to update it, you must republish. I am referring to the HTML Format. The second format, IDC, is an older, obsolete technology that runs on Microsoft web Servers. IDC has limited functionality, no script language...

I am new to multi-threading. Here is my scenario: foreach (<file in a certain folder>) new Thread((ThreadStart)(delegate { processFile(<file>); })).Start(); sometimes misses firing some threads to process files. It misses firing different threads every time I run it. I suppose it all depends on the time-slice it is getting at that moment (or I may be way off base here). What I mean by "misses" is that the "foreach" loop appears to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
