I have one main project referencing an other project. The referenced projects output is successfully copied to the output folder bin/debug. However, for my clickonce deployment the content files in the referenced project is not included, only the DLL files. The content files in the the main project is successfully included in the deployment.

Please help my to fix this envying issue.

The workaround is obviously to include the same files in both projects, but come on!

Why do you need the resource files? If they contain resources that are used in the first project then they will have been incorporated into the DLL (assuming you built it correctly).

My bad, it should be content files. I supply a compact database file. That is not working well inside a assembly.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying.

In one on my project in the solution there is a sql compact file. This needs to be suppled in the deployment of the project. When I reference the project and run it locally in visual the file is copied to the right place in the start-up project. However when then the project is deployed with clickones the content files is not supplied only the dll file. Only content files from the startup project is supplied in the clickones installation

Then I guess you need to move that file into the startup project, or find an option that will include it.

For ClickOnce Deployment, you have to add the "compact database file" to the project to be deployed. ClickOnce Deployment requires that all files to be deployed be declared and present within the project.

Add that as a solution instead of a comment and I give you cred. Thank you for the sad clear answer.
