1. Problem:

    MySQL Connector registered dll project reference data connection (MySQL.Data.DLL) in the .net Framework. Therefore, when you build and will not release a copy of DLL

To publish folders, each release led to the need to manually copy the DLL to publish folders bin directory.

 

2. Solution

    - b at the end .csproj.

  <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" Condition="false" />

      Add PropertyGroup node after node

  <PropertyGroup>
    <CopyAllFilesToSingleFolderForPackageDependsOn>
      CustomCollectFiles;
      $(CopyAllFilesToSingleFolderForPackageDependsOn);
    </CopyAllFilesToSingleFolderForPackageDependsOn>
  </PropertyGroup>

    And Target node

  <Target Name="CustomCollectFiles">
    <ItemGroup>
      <_CustomFiles Include="..\Extra Files\**\*" />
      <FilesForPackagingFromProject  Include="%(_CustomFiles.Identity)">
        <DestinationRelativePath>bin\%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)</DestinationRelativePath>
      </FilesForPackagingFromProject>
    </ItemGroup>
