Files are missing when publishing asp mvc core c# visual studio .net7 web application

Question

Hello, I am developing a website on asp mvc core c# .net7 via visual studio and I have published my web page, but the files that should be in it do not come. The incoming files are as follows;

wwwroot Folder

appsettings.development.json

appsettings.json

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Abstractions.dll

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.dll

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Relational.dll

MySqlConnector.dll

Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql.dll

Portegu.dll

Portegu.exe

Portegu.pdb

Portegu.runtimeconfig.json

web.config

X.pagedList.dll

X.pagedList.Mvc.Core.dll

These files are available. None of my view files are coming and when I publish my site in this way, my web page does not work. I select the following options when publishing my project to the folder;

Configuration: Release

Target Framework: net7.0

Deployment Mode: Frame dependent

Target Runtime: Portable

I have tried all other settings except these, but the files are always missing. How can I solve this problem? Did I convey my problem in detail?

Answer 1

the view files are compiled into the dll and not part of the publish.

note: net 7 support ended last May, you should update to .net 8 LTS
