vs 2019 not publishing all my folders

Question

User-1767698477 posted

Why doesn't vs2019 publish all the folders and their contents?  I see if I right click on one of the unpublished folder I can publish the folder. My question, why isn't the folder published automatically with the rest of the site when I go to publish the site to a folder on my computer? Why do I have to manually right click and do this?

Hi,

Some more context could help.

My first guess would be that https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/build-actions?view=vs-2019 is not set properly for files found in those folders (for example being "None" rather than "Content").

Hi sking,

As far as I think,you could click F4 and to check the properties and set it:

1.Build Action : this should be Content

2.Copy to Output Directory: this should be like the other file are configured
