msbuild/clickonce publish files generated during the build

Answer 1

You can do something like this:

    
      Reports\Reports.srf
      false
    

This will require that you run the build and publish in 2 steps. That is, from a clean working copy, msbuild /p:Configuration=Release /t:Publish will not include this file in the deployment, you'll have to first run msbuild /p:Configuration=Release and then msbuild /p:Configuration=Release /t:Publish , the manifest will get updated during the Publish.
