Copy to Output Directory copies folder structure but only want to copy files

Question

I have a VS2008 I want to copy certain files from a directory into my /bin/ folder. I have set the files (located in /common/browserhawk/) to \"Co

Answer 1

I believe the XCOPY command handles directories and files better. Therefore,

    XCOPY "$(ProjectDir)common/browserhawk" "$(TargetDir)" /E /I /F /Y

Which allows for creating folders off the target directory.

    XCOPY "$(ProjectDir)Templates" "$(TargetDir)" /E /I /F /Y

The Project folder/file structure of:

    A:\TEMP\CONSOLEAPPLICATION3\TEMPLATES
    ├───NewFolder1
    ├───NewFolder2
    │       TextFile1.txt
    │       TextFile2.txt
    └───NewFolder3
            TextFile1.txt
            TextFile2.txt
            TextFile3.txt

Becomes:

    A:\TEMP\CONSOLEAPPLICATION3\BIN\DEBUG
    │   ConsoleApplication3.exe
    │   ConsoleApplication3.pdb
    │   ConsoleApplication3.vshost.exe
    │   ConsoleApplication3.vshost.exe.manifest
    ├───NewFolder1
    ├───NewFolder2
    │       TextFile1.txt
    │       TextFile2.txt
    │
    └───NewFolder3
            TextFile1.txt
            TextFile2.txt
            TextFile3.txt
