Where do external executables go in ASP.NET project

I have a set of executable files that are used from ASP.NET process (by using Process.Start).

It seems that MSDeploy doesn't support subfolders from _bin_deployableAssemblies. When I use _bin_deployableAssemblies/mystuff it doesn't get det deployed to bin/mystuff. It is just ignored.

Where should the project native executable files go so that the project can be deployed without additional config.

The simplest thing would be to put it under App_Data/mystuff, but that is just too dirty.

Solution

  • Any reason not to just create a folder (ex. Utilties) off of the root and set it's type as "Content"?
