Meta files not built by Release build for Class Library

extrakun · Post by **extrakun** » Thu 23 Jun 2011 07:03

I am currently putting my models and services in a class library, using Entity Framework 4.

I notice that dotconnect is not generating the meta files (.csdl, .msi, .ssdl) when doing a Release build.

Can I just point the meta file path to the files in the Debug folder?

Thanks in advance!

Please make sure that you have set the Metadata Artifact Processing model property to CopyToOutputDirectory.
Don't forget to check that your output folder is set to bin\Release.
After rebuilding the project the metadata files should be placed to the bin\Release folder.
If there are any problems with this approach, please let us know.
