Hi @JAYASRI XNH001744 ,
What's the type of your application?
Here are two references you may need:

I already have the same problem. I am trying to publish a single class library project to a folder. ClickOnce deployment says publish succeeded but it does not create publish folder. When i manually create the publish folder and click publish no files are published or generated.

I tried everything from recreating project and adding existing cs files in it to reinstalling Visual Studio. Moving project directory to root and everything in forums. Nothing worked for me.

Please help!

<IsPublishable>True</IsPublishable> in your project folder worked for me

It was set to false for some reason?

<PropertyGroup> <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType> <TargetFramework>net6.0-windows</TargetFramework> <UseWPF>true</UseWPF> <ApplicationIcon>Binary.ico</ApplicationIcon> <IsPublishable>True</IsPublishable> </PropertyGroup>

Build your project (not rebuild)
Other workaround is publish in debug mode first then change settings and publish in release mode. it will work

I am on VS 2022 and got this issue. I can compile in debug, but cannot compile in release.
