I have create multiple netmodule file using csc command line. so I want to deploy my application using this netmodule file to reduce data transfer. How to do that?

Hi MoDD,

From on your description, you have compiled some *.cs files to *.netmodule files and want to deploy these files in ClickOnce.

Based on my understanding, we can add these .netmodule files like common output files into our project and deploy them. These are the steps:

1. Right click the project and click Add->Existing Item menu to show the item adding dialog.

2. Select the .netmodule files and click OK to add them to our project.

3. Right click all the .netmodule files to show the properties dialog.

4. Set Build Action property to Content and set Copy to Output Directory property to Copy always.

5. Rebuild the project, the files would be copied to the main output directory.

6. On the properties dialog of the project, select Publish tab.

7. Click Application Files button to show the Application Files dialog.

8. We would see the .netmodule files on the dialog. We can change the Hash to Include/Exclude to include/exclude a file in the publish files.

Let me know if this does not help.

Can you give more information? To be honest, I have no idea what a netmodule file is. Are you saying you have an application and you want to include this file in the deployment of that application so your application can use it?

I have create a largely solution, this solution has 4 project and each of project size is about 10MB. I decide to complie each *.cs file using csc command line compiler then i have a lot of *.netmodule file and one dll file that like those file.

So, I want to create a clickonce application using these netmodule and dll file instead of single large one file. I want to know how to do that?

Thanks,
