Does anyone now how post build events work in VS C# 2005? I want to copy the dll/exe that gets built placed in two locations. I did a google on it but I couldn't find anything specific to this particular question. ------------------ |

I use the post build event in my projects to do what you are describing. I simply wrote a .bat file to do the copying, and then in post build event section I run that .bat file. ------------------ Check out this webhost! Fantastic prices, features and support! |

Hey, thanks for suggestion. I managed to get it working eventually with this code: copy "$(TargetPath)" "D:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\TestFolder\" ------------------ |

You use the build events just like writing a DOS command. I use it for copying files or running command-line EXEs. For example, I added a build step to stamp a serial number on the EXE after it's done buidling. And like you found out, you can use the IDE macros for specifying things (like TargetPath, in your example). And you can have build events at various points in the build. |
