Copy files from one project to another after build

Question

hello, I have a project for all my javascripts in side (that i made common for three projects), I want upon build to move these scripts to the three projects, how can i do this by editing .csproject and how? Thanks

Answer 1

If you can use Visual Studio to build then use post build events in visual studio. Failing that if you have access to the command line just issue a copy command

Answer 2

There is two ways to do that:

_ Edit the .csproject, at the end of the file you should find a Target named AfterBuild (uncomment the target).

<ItemGroup>
    <JavascriptFiles Include="*.js"/>
</ItemGroup>

<Target Name="AfterBuild">
    <Copy
        SourceFiles="@(JavascriptFiles)"
        DestinationFolder="PathWhereYouWantToCopyYourJavascriptFiles"
    />
</Target>

_ Post build events in visual studio (in project properties)
