Problem while publishing with PublishSingleFile parameter about crystalreportsrunner

[Kitsunejasutin]

With some meddling with some parameters regarding PublishSingleFile I stumbled upon IncludeAllContentForSelfExtract parameter.

Info: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/single-file/overview?tabs=cli#native-libraries

Adding <IncludeAllContentForSelfExtract>true</IncludeAllContentForSelfExtract> to the .csproj
It works perfectly well now. Keeping this open and wait for Mr. Gerardo insights about this.

Hi, very glad you manage to get it working with single file publishing! I don't have real production experience with publishing single file apps (apart from testing them in some small sample projects) so there is not much insight I can provide on this topic.

Is there any change needed in the library/nuget so your app can use it with single publish? If so, please let me know or send a PR so we can add it. Another option if no changes are needed and you want to contribute, feel free to drop a PR adding this in the README file for other people who might run into this issue.

I will be honest, I am not really sure if there's any changes needed to be changed on your side regarding Single File Publishing. Maybe this will be just a note if someone will encounter the same problem. I will be doing a PR for the readme to note this issue. Will close this issue. Thanks for doing this project, helped me a lot!

This is literally outside of the scope of this issue, but I want to ask if slow down on first load is a thing? I noticed that on my dev machine, the window and report loads fast but right after I transfer it on the client machine that is on a Active Directory Domain, startup of the report takes longer than normal. After the first load, other report loads fine.

Hi, are you using the signed versión of the ReportRunner.exe or you are deploying your own fork? In some cases, Windows Defender takes longer to check executables the first time they run, that might also explain why it takes time the first time, and once the Runner is loaded, communication via NamedPipes is very fast.
