using Visual Studio to copy files? -
I want to create a visual studio (I am using VSTS 2008), which is a file copy in more reports,
How to make any thoughts in VSTS
< P>P> BTW: I've heard using Prosecut file that this may be such a thing, but I have not found any good simple to learn samples for beginners . : -)
Thanks in advance, George
You can add a post build Step into Visual Studio:
- Open the project properties (it works in the C # project, I also guess for VB.NET, it also applies).
- Select the Build Events tab
-
There you can add a post build event command, for example
Copy $ (ProjectDir) \ $ (ProjectDir) is a macro, some more are available, they will be shown when you edit a command.Then, if you take a look at that project file (XYZ.csproj or XYZ.vbproj), you can see the properties group added at the bottom of the file, such as:
& lt; PropertyGroup & gt; & Lt; PostBuildEvent & gt; Copy $ (ProjectDir) \ bin \ * SOME_OTHER_FOLDER \ * & lt; / PostBuildEvent & gt; & Lt; / PropertyGroup & gt;It is exactly like when you edit the MSBuild file directly. Note that you do not need to launch Visual Studio to copy and create your files, Just can pass in MSBuel.XE.
