PackageAs Property
Specifies whether to override the default packaging behavior for a selected file, assembly, or project output group.
Settings
The settings for the PackageAs property are:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Default | Does not override the default packaging setting and packages the item as specified in the Deployment Project Properties dialog box. |
| Loose | Overrides the default packaging setting and packages the items as uncompressed files. |
Security Note The Loose files option should not be used for applications that will be distributed over the Web. Files packaged in this manner can be downloaded without any security prompt, creating a security risk for users. This option should never be used when the Web Bootstrapper is used.
