XBOX deploy - content issue

Hi

I've written my first simple XNA Xbox project, simply draws a triangle and applies an effect. When I deploy to the XBOX and debug, I get file not found on my effect file.

The file is stored in a folder called Content then FX, file called myfirsttest.fx

I load it using this command and get file not found

myFirstFX= content.Load<Effect>(@"content\FX\myfirsttest");

I've tried every combination I can think of, still says file not found everytime.

Actual error :-

Help!!!

Thanks for all your hints, I'm at work so can't try these right now, but will when I get home.

mmm wonder if my company would mind if I had an xbox on my desk :-)

The Output Window gives details about which files have been deployed. If you want to be sure that file has been sent to your console, select View | Output from the menu, then Build | Deploy Solution.

Because deployment is done incrementally, it may skip a bunch of files. To get information about all files by forcing a full deployment, close and reopen the project, then deploy again.

The output window will show you something like this (exerpt):

You don't need the ".\" in front. All relative paths are relative to the executable's folder. ".\content" and "content" are identical.
