If I have some files I want to copy from my project into the .\bin\debug\
folder on compilation, then it seems I have to put them into the root of the project. Putting them into a subfolder seems to copy them into the .\bin\debug\
folder in the same structure they're stored in.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Just to be clear: if I have a MyFirstConfigFile.txt
and MySecondConfigFile.txt
in a ConfigFiles
folder and I set their Copy to Output to be Copy..., then they appear in the .\bin\debug\ConfigFiles\
folder. I want them to appear in the .\bin\debug\
folder.
You want to use a Post-Build event on your project. You can specify the output there and there are macro values for frequently used things like project path, item name, etc.
