'Visual Studio Pre-build action to embed external xml file
I'm on visual studio 2019 and developing a VSTO application using C#. I'm using WPF and MVVM by use of VSTOContrib library. The library uses naming convention to couple view (xml file) and viewmodel at runtime by searching the assembly.
The problem:
The view (xml file) is managed externally by non-developers in a separate folder. And this folder's path is unchangeable.
I've come to the conclusion the best course of action would be to embed the file at build time using pre-build actions however after hours of research I've been unable to find any information on the subject.
Has anyone done this before?
