Excluding Files From Different Configuration Settings

Question

User1447371928 posted

Hey dudes,

Does anyone know how I can exclude certain folders and files from certain builds? Essentially I've got test code that needs to be deployed to the testing server - but obviously not the real server. This is in both files and folders.

Using the configuration manager profiles, I would like to create a profile for each scenario, and tell it what files it does not need.

Cheers

Hi,

You can try ItemGroup in your csproj/vbproj:

<ItemGroup>
        <Res Include = "Strings.fr.resources" >
            <Culture>fr</Culture>
        </Res>
        <Res Include = "Dialogs.fr.resources" >
            <Culture>fr</Culture>
        </Res>

        <CodeFiles Include="**\*.cs" Exclude="**\generated\*.cs" />
        <CodeFiles Include="..\..\Resources\Constants.cs" />
    </ItemGroup>

Be careful, wrong settings in project will cause it unable to be loaded.
