To deploy non-SharePoint project assemblies (or .xap files in Silverlight projects) to SharePoint, add them as a project output reference.
This process creates a solution build dependency between the two projects. Projects associated with project output references are built before the SharePoint project is built and deployed.
-
Load a solution that contains at least one SharePoint project and one non-SharePoint project.
-
In Solution Explorer, choose an item in the SharePoint project node.
-
In the Properties window, choose the Project Output References property, and then choose the ellipsis () button next to it.
-
In the Project Output References dialog box, choose the Add button.
-
In the properties pane, choose the arrow next to the Deployment Type property, and then choose an appropriate value for the non-SharePoint item you are referencing, such as ElementFile.
-
Choose the arrow next to Project Name, choose the name of the non-SharePoint project item, and then choose the OK button.
