Including extra files with build?

[coreyw]

Hi All,

I’m developing a Raspberry Pi project and I have a support text file in the VS solution that I need to deploy with the source that ends up in the executable directory on the server.  The binary reads in this file at runtime.  Can anyone tell me how to do this?  Otherwise I have to copy the file manually since it gets deleted every time I deploy.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

You can do it by defining a custom pre-debug action (upload a file). Note that this works on Custom and Ultimate editions only.

Thanks!  And how do I know what edition I have?  I’ve been a user since V2.3.  🙂

Hi,

It’s usually displayed via Help->About VisualGDB. If you want to upgrade, simply email sales@sysprogs.com and we’ll give you a quote.
