Using svn and .NET Winforms - Building Install Files Deletes _svn Folders

Question

Does anyone know how to build an install project without it deleting/overwriting the _svn folders?

I have a VB .NET 2005 Winform Application and each time I do an Installer Build, it deletes/overwrites the _svn folder in the directories. How can I stop this from happening?

Any and all help is appreciated!

Thanks! JFV

Answer 1

I've never had a problem with this using Vis Studio 2005

Have you tried using .svn folders rather than _svn?

If you are using TortoiseSVN there is an option to change it in the settings.

I get the same issue, though only for the "Deployment Project" in my solutions. It looks like VS2005 deletes the release directory every time it builds the solution.
