Why can't I change these settings shown in the image below?
This is a clickOnce application, and my problem is that I want to change the publication path, assembly name, product name, installation URL and transform some app.config conversions based on the assembly configuration. I can achieve this by manually editing csproj like this
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Debug' ">
<AssemblyName>someApplicationTest</AssemblyName>
<ProductName>Some Application Test</ProductName>
<PublishUrl>c:\publish\someApplicationTest\</PublishUrl>
<InstallUrl>http://sub.example.com/someApplicationTest/</InstallUrl>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Release' ">
<AssemblyName>someApplication</AssemblyName>
<ProductName>Some Application</ProductName>
<PublishUrl>c:\publish\someApplication\</PublishUrl>
<InstallUrl>http://sub.example.com/someApplication/</InstallUrl>
</PropertyGroup>
I am just confused why these options are disabled in the visual studio, and if I miss something. Perhaps I was confused, and these controls were not even designed for this purpose.
In addition, I will explore Squirrel.Windows as an alternative later, but for now I wanted to know more about it.
