problem while creating setup and deployment project in vb.net

8 New Member
Hi all,

we are creating a windows application using vb.net as front end and access as back end. we are not able to understand when we are creating a setup and deployment project for our application,but source files and forms disappear.We want to make some updations and changes to our source code we are not able to do it.

we would be grateful if somebody could explain what exactly happens when we create a setup project for a windows application.Now we are left with only setup project files.

Please respond as early as possible.

hi,

-->we had a solution of our project which was working

-->then we added a setup project to the existing project

-->While creating setup we chose the current solution as the project output
for the setup project.

-->after doing that we were able to create setup successfully

-->but we could not find any of our source files

I will appreciate if u can tell me the internal process which happens when we create setup.

If I want to upgrade my project, I require source code that is missing.Is there any chance to get the source files back if so how?

pls reply me asap.
