c# - Copy file(s) from one project to another using post build event...VS2010

Question

I have a solution with 3 projects in it. I need to copy a view from one project to another. I'm able to copy the created DLL via post build events like so:

So i want to copy the file in project one '/Views/ModuleHome/Index.cshtml' to a folder in project 2. How do I copy file(s) to my desired project via post-build event? Thanks

Answer 1

xcopy "$(ProjectDir)ViewsHomeIndex.cshtml" "$(SolutionDir)MEFMVCPOCViewsHome"

and if you want to copy entire folders:

xcopy /E /Y "$(ProjectDir)Views" "$(SolutionDir)MEFMVCPOCViews"

Update: here's the working version

xcopy "$(ProjectDir)ViewsModuleAHomeIndex.cshtml" "$(SolutionDir)MEFMVCPOCViewsModuleAHome" /Y /I

Here are some commonly used switches with xcopy:

• /I - treat as a directory if copying multiple files.
• /Q - Do not display the files being copied.
• /S - Copy subdirectories unless empty.
• /E - Copy empty subdirectories.
• /Y - Do not prompt for overwrite of existing files.
• /R - Overwrite read-only files.
