Clickonce with added .ini file

My data.ini resides in the application exe folder contains my connection string.
When I published my app using clickonce the data.ini did not get published .
I manually copied it to the published folder and it doesnt seem to work.

The ini file holds only the connection string.
I found the settings tab on the solution properties which can keep connection string info. But I dont know how to use this to use in my application.

Or I need a way to publish data.ini along with my appliaction.
Any help appreciated.
Thx

nilaavu,

Since you did not mention what installation package you are using, I will assume you are using PDW. In PDW you need to add the file to your package during the wizard run, then it will be eployed.

You need to add the INI file to your project in the solution explorer. Then it will be automatically included in your published installer.
