Config file is appearing in bin folder after publishing

Question

I currently have a configuration file located in the root folder of my project. For some reason, whenever I go to publish the project, it creates two instances of this configuration - one in my root folder and one in my bin folder. Why is this happening and how do I change it so that it doesn't appear in my bin folder?

Answer 1

Try making the Copy to Output Directory = Do not copy and Build Action = Content. Do this only for your config file.
