I am getting below error while publishing application.
Error 7 Copying file images\Thumbs.db to obj\Release\Package\PackageTmp\images\Thumbs.db failed. Could not find file 'images\Thumbs.db'.
I use this example and publishing same like below url
http://www.compilemode.com/2017/09/publishing-asp-net-mvc-application.html
When i will do publishing the below circle folders are creating in my visual studio with above error, Below is my project root structure
Visual Studio normally exhibits this behaviour when the file in question is referenced in the project but in not existing on the file system.
You can identify such file by looking at the Solution Explorer. They are shown with yellow triangle on the icon of that file.
Expand your Images folder. It should show Thumbs.db with yellow triangle. Right click it and select Delete or Exclude From Project option.
If you believe it should be published, please add it to the respective folder.
Retry publish.

I'm running into a problem publishing/installing a ClickOnce application being built in C# in Visual Studio 2019. The application is being built using .NET Core 3.1 and WPF.
I have an icon I am using for the application that is included in the project with the filename "loader.ico". The ClickOnce manifest is calling out for loader.ico, but the required Loader.ico.deploy file is not being generated when publishing, which is throwing an exception when trying to run the setup.exe to install the application to a client PC (actual filepaths have been replaced with [Path]:
+ Downloading file:///[Path]/x64/ClickOnce/Application Files/.NET Bootloader_1_0_0_4/loader.ico.deploy did not succeed.
+ Could not find file '[Path]\x64\ClickOnce\Application Files\.NET Bootloader_1_0_0_4\loader.ico.deploy'.
I have attempted a few things using what information on the problem I could find:
I set the Build Action for loader.ico to Content and set Copy to Output Directory to Copy Always. I also set the "Settings>Application Files" setting for loader.ico to Include. This has no effect on the resulting Publish, and no loader.ico.deploy file is generated.
I also receive the following in the output window when publishing:
Unable to apply publish properties for item "loader.ico"
I have also tried excluding loader.ico from the "Application Files", but this does not remove the reference in the .manifest file.
So now I am at a bit of a loss. I don't know why it would demand a .deploy file for the icon (I'd think it would just be embedded? No need for a separate icon file?). I can't seem to get the ClickOnce publishing process to generate the required loader.ico.deploy file, and I can't seem to get the manifest to remove the reference to it. What settings could be used to force the generation of this .deploy file (or force the manifest to not reference it)?
I had the same problem your application .ico file causes this error so you have to change its properties setting to Build Action: Content and Copy To Output Directory: Copy always.
hope it works
I can confirm from my very own experience how frustrating this is. I have tried anything and everything.
For the time being - until this issue is sorted - I am suggesting that you manually add the .ico file to the Apllication_1_0_0_x folder and appending '.deploy' at the very end.
So file will look like 'my-icon.ico.deploy'.
It works. Tried and tested.
In my case it helped:
Publish -> Show all (Settings current project) -> Settings -> Application Files -> (Show all files):
Find ico file, select publish status to Include | (Required) | Include.
From now on, the ICO file will be added when publishing
Additionally to the icon loading problem that I initially "solved" with Avrohom's method, I faced some issue with WebView2 not working / being loaded.
Both of these problems stopped when I disabled the click once publishing profile (.pubxml) option for producing a single EXE file:
<PublishSingleFile>False</PublishSingleFile>
Tested with .NET6, Visual Studio 2022
So I'm trying to set a custom image for a form application I've made. The images I'm trying to target are in a folder called "Images" on the same level as my Solution file. The solution file is a C# windows forms (net core framework) solution. It's a basic form app that I want to display an image based on a users selection, however right now I get an unhandled exception everytime I try to set the image with this code:
picFood.Image = Image.FromFile("../../Images/burger.jpg");
The exact error is "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: ../../Images/burger.jpg"
In another totally unrelated solution this works. Folder structure is the same. A folder called Images, on the same directory level as the .sln file holds the images there. They're in my solution explorer and everything. I've tried this with one "../" and no "../" as well so I'm not sure what to do from here.
Files with relative paths are opened relative to the working directory of your application.
In this case, when launching from within Visual Studio, the default is the bin folder where the compiled application is put by default.
So if your binary is in <project dir>/bin/Debug/App.exe this path will resolve to <project dir>/Image/burger.jpg.
If you have changed something in your build configuration, or your application switches directory at runtime (e.g. via Directory.SetCurrentDirectory), this path may be different than you expect.
To understand your issue, I suggest you start looking at what your working directory is. You can obtain that in your code via Directory.GetCurrentDirectory().
You can also resolve your relative path using Path.GetFullPath.
Print these two values to see where your program attempts to load the file from.
Keep in mind that any image files you put in the solution/project folder will need to be copied with your binary if you want to use them.
To use relative paths without .. you can copy them alongside your binary during compilation, see:
VS2010 How to include files in project, to copy them to build output directory automatically during build or publish and Copying Visual Studio project file(s) to output directory during build for how to do that.
I am facing an issue while building windows source in Visual studio 2017. Showing the error message mentioned in the title.
Anyone have any idea about this error message?
Finally I could have resolved the issue as below:
Open the file explorer. Navigate to project/solution directory
Search for *.resx. --> You will get list of resx files
Right click the resx file, open the properties and check the option 'Unblock'
Repeat #3 for each resx file.
Reload the project.
For some reason, my shared folder ,which contains some error pages and my master _layout.cshtml page, is hidden. I can only access it when I click on show all files in my solution explorer. This is not a real problem, everything still works but I know this is not standard.
I don't know how this folder became a hidden folder, but does anyone know how to set the folder visible?
When I browse to my project folder in my file system, the folder is not a hidden folder...
I use Visual studio 2012, os = windows 7 64 bit
Just a wild guess here, but can you right click it (in Visual Studio) and "Include In Project"?
It will not be included in your .csproj file.
To include it, either open your .csproj file in notepad and add in the lines or remove the folder from the project and add it back in.
I have an annoying error that's been popping up, and I don't know where it is coming from. The error is:
Error 31 Unable to copy file "app.config" to "bin\Debug\Framework.Tests.dll.config". Could not find file 'app.config'. Framework.Tests
The problem is, I don't have a bin\Debug folder anywhere, and it does not say from where it is trying to copy app.config. Double clicking on the error doesn't bring me to any code where it is trying to copy, so that doesn't help me either. So I don't know where I should make the app.config.
How can I find this out?
You have added a reference to a file called app.config or Visual Studio did this for you. The file does not exist on the disk, presumably because after adding the reference you later deleted the file.
Search for the missing file in your Solution Explorer, and either delete the reference or create the file.
It is most likely in the root folder of one of your projects, and should have a yellow triangle warning icon showing that the file is missing.
In an MSTest project the app.config is the one that you would like to provide any calls to the ConfigurationManager class.
It resides in the root of your test project.
The bin\debug folders will be created once the project compiles for the first time. Show all files in the solution explorer should help as they are not (and should not) be included in the project.
HTH
You probably do have a bin\Debug folder beneath your project folder, being the build target folder created by Visual Studio when you build your project for the Debug configuration.
My guess is that something (a test framework perhaps) still has the DLL file loaded, so Visual Studio can't delete and replace the existing Framework.Tests.dll.config file with the contents of your app.config. [Note: the project build action for app.config files is to copy it to the target folder renamed to match the executable with an extension of .config appended.]
