@jwwise-best could you please share a minimal repro?
Here is a new repository with the minimal example.
https://github.com/BEST-Robotics/dotnet-wpf-mvc-sample
I believe this may be because of the RuntimeCompilation option, however, the pages do not resolve without it.
Description
I have a WPF application based on the SDK project type Microsoft.NET.Sdk. A feature of this application is to start a local MVC site as part of the application using the WebApplication builder. This has been an issue with .NET 6/7/8. When publishing a ClickOnce deployment it does not include the "refs" subfolder which is created when building the application. Because of this running the ClickOnce deployed application fails to be able to render hosted web pages exhibited out of the WPF application. Only by copying the refs folder manually to the target system am I able to render the local hosted MVC razor pages. I need a way to either make the refs folder not required, or a way of adding them into the ClickOnce deployment process.
Reproduction Steps
Create a wpf application. Add a web application listener within the startup. Publish a ClickOnce package. Install the ClickOnce package. Try to navigate to a page within the web application.
Expected behavior
To be able to render pages from a local web application listener within a WPF application and deploy using ClickOnce package without need of intervention.
Actual behavior
Fail to render page from local web application listener within a WPF application that was deployed using a ClickOnce package.
Regression?
No response
Known Workarounds
Copying the refs folder down from a published location upon application startup, and require restart.
Impact
No response
Configuration
Windows only due to WPF installation .NET 6/7/8 x64
