How to include dacpac file from build in Solution Output Path

Question

Tools: Visual Studio 2015, SSDT

I have an Visual Studio SQL Project which works fine on it's own. I run my build and the dacpac file is in debug\bin\*.dacpac as expected.

The problem is this SQL project is part of a WinForms solution.

I have included the SQL project as a project reference in the Winforms Project.

It looks like visual studio only copies dlls from project reference bin folders into the output path bin\debug folder.

How can I configure Visual Studio to ALSO copy the dacpac file to the winform project's bin\debug folder (outputpath)?

对于项目本身包含的其他文件，这很容易。我可以编辑文件属性以始终复制到输出路径。对于BIN输出，您无法执行此操作，因为dacpac文件是构建输出，而不是项目本身的一部分。

如何配置Visual Studio还将dacpac文件复制到Winform项目的bin \ debug文件夹（输出路径）？

您可以在添加复制任务Pre-build event的WinForms项目或在Post-build eventSQL项目。

生成后事件在SQL项目：

xcopy /y "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)*.dacpac" "$(SolutionDir)YourWindowsFormsProjectName\$(OutDir)"

预生成事件在Winform的项目：

xcopy /y "$(SolutionDir)YourSQLProjectName\$(OutDir)*.dacpac" "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)"

以下是一些常用的开关xcopy：

/I - treat as a directory if copying multiple files
/Q - Do not display the files being copied.
/S - Copy subdirectories unless empty.
/E - Copy empty subdirectories.
/Y - Do not prompt for overwrite of existing files.
/R - Overwrite read only files.

希望能有所帮助。
