i want to publish a WPF app with ClickOnce, but i'd like to include data files that are in my project (json and txt). Actually, the app works when building from visual, but crash when i publish it with ClickOnce, because it can't find these data files after publishing. How can i specify somewhere, to deploy the app with those data files? Or should i change the path of those files in the code?

Hope my problem is clear, thanks.

You should copy your files to output directory, I guess – Pavel Anikhouski Jan 07 '20 at 08:49
What do you mean output directory? – Axel Jan 07 '20 at 08:50
Your app output directory. Set `copy always` or `copy if newer` in data files properties in your project – Pavel Anikhouski Jan 07 '20 at 08:51
@PavelAnikhouski Sorry but i dont understand what i have to do, could you please be a little more specific? – Axel Jan 07 '20 at 10:39
