Prepare ClickOnce Application - does not reflect what is in the publish settings for Visual Studio
-
Hi,
I am using the "Prepare ClickOnce Application" action but am finding it difficult to determine what the settings represent - as it does not reflect what is in the publish settings for Visual Studio (2013).
What is the difference between the "Source directory" and the "Application Code Base Directory" ?
Also where is the output/target directory after this action completes - or where is this set?
Thanks in advance,

The Click Once Action is essentially a wrapper around mage.exe; you can see exactly how this is wrapping that utility in the source code: the source code, and what those options mean at msdn.
The AppCodeBase is the deployment root of your application in IIS, generally "/", but it could be "/MyApp" or something as well.
If you specify "CopyFiles" in the action, then the application files and manifest will be in whatever target directory you specify. If you do not specify a source and target directory, then the default/working directory will be used for both (which means the output will be exactly where the input was -- in the $CurrentDirectory).
