Copying a file in .NET Core .csproj file

问题:

I created a new .NET Class Library project in .NET Core on Mac OS X. During the project build, I'd like to copy a file into the debug directory. How do I add this to the .csproj file?

.NET Command Line Tools (1.0.1)

Product Information:
Version:            1.0.1

As with back to .csproj file the MSBuild is used again, this is can be done by MSBuild items. What you need is to add CopyToOutputDirectory attribute to the corresponding item and specify when to copy (Always, PreserveNewest, Never).

Example of the section in .csproj file (from here):

<ItemGroup>
    <None Include="notes.txt" CopyToOutputDirectory="Always" />
    <!-- CopyToOutputDirectory = { Always, PreserveNewest, Never } -->

</ItemGroup>
