Why doesn't MSBuild copy as I would expect

Question

I\'m needing to script my build. I\'m using MSBUILD because of it\'s integration with VS.net. I am trying to copy some files from the build environment to the deployment folder

Answer 1

Very simple example that copies a directory contents and structure recursively:

@(Compile) is an ItemGroup of all files that you want to copy. Could be something like:

The Copy task will copy all the files into c:\foocopy just like xcopy.
