Click Once Deployment - Additional non-compile time dependecies

Question

I have a winforms application that I want to deploy via clickonce. What is a little different about this application is that it searches for certain assemblies (by name convention) in the working directory and loads/reflects over them to find ninject modules/providers. The assemblies it loads are not referenced by the VS project. It works a treat, but how do I include these assemblies in the clickonce deployment package?

Answer 1

Add the dll's to your project as files instead of references, and set the type of the Build Action to Content and set Copy to Output Directory to Copy if newer (Copy to output does not effect Click-Once but it does affect local builds)

Once you have set the build action to content the dll's should be included with the deployment, you can check under Project Properties -> Publish -> Application Files...
