I want to include an SDF file in my click once deployment. The file that I want to include exists in another project that is not the same project as where it's being published from, but the project IS reference by this project. My SDF is set as "content," but it does not show up under application files when I want to publish. So when I deploye the exe cannot find the database.

Why doesn't the SDF show up under the application files? When I add it manually to this project it shows up (but bombs on launch after install). What's the correct way to make sure the SDF is included in the install without moving it out of my project.

Client.Exe --> BAL --> DAL (which contains references to SDF)

Thanks in advance for the help.

The file has to be a part of the solution in order to be published with the application. You don't say if both projects are in the same solution. Are they?

You also don't say why it bombs on launch after install, but I would guess it has something to do with where you are deploying the sdf file, and the connection string you are using to access it.
