dll files , .net clickonce deployment

i want deploy 1 of .net apps clickonce application. issue connecting oracle (see previous posts here , here). connecting oracle requires @ least, 4 dll files have in same directory exe file. issue when program published, dlls not referenced in way, program won’t work.

then read adding files project, clickonce , publish processor figure out dlls required , add them manifest.

here process in visual studio 2005:   1. put 4 dll files in own directory in solution directory (for ease of use mostly).   2. add 4 files project going “project->add existing item…”   3. click on each dll file in solution explorer , change property: “copy output directory” “copy always”. 

that’s it! when publish or run application don’t have worry if dll files should be.
