deployment - What to exclude from a Visual Studio release folder -


i have finished c# windows form program , make zip file of binary others can download it. checked bin/release folder, , while can recognize many files know necessary, other files not sure if safe exclude them.

the following files ones not sure:

  • program.pdb
  • program.exe.manifest
  • program.exe.config
  • program.application
  • externaldll.xml (related externaldll.dll need keep, xml important?)

p.s. using vs express have manually deploy project.

the short answer is: don't need of those, possible exception of .config file. if didn't store of app's configuration in .config file, don't need either. recommend excluding of them , trying app on different machine. expect it'll work fine.

the longer answer is: there's individual questions each. example, here's manifest/application question: c# - need manifest files?
