make an MSBuild Copy Task only copy if the source is newer regardless of size

Question

I\'m currently using an msbuild file to copy some files to the public documents folder when my EXE is compiled. My current script includes this:

Answer 1

Your copy's conditional can be changed as follows:

%(ModifiedTime) = Modified Datetime of the source file

$([System.IO.File]::GetLastWriteTime($(PublicDocumentsFolder)%(Path)\%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(DeploymentItems.Extension))) = Modified Datetime of the destination file, if it exists

Let me know if this works or not, did not test.
