We used to use Visual Studio 2008. Within that, after deploy of our application, within the application folder is where the report in question resided. We could make changes to the report without re-deploying the application.
We have converted to Visual Studio 2013. That being said, the report in question is now marked as Embedded Resource. The report is no longer in the application folder after install on a client machine of our application. I figured out how to make the report be included in the application folder, just by adding it manually in the deployment/setup project. However, when I change the Build Action of the report to None, as everything I have found says to do, after re-building and installing the project on a client machine I get an error when I try to run it. It says "Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. Please build the project, and try again." I have checked the path for the report in my code, it is correct.
Anybody have any suggestions or input on my situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
