c# - Visual Studio: Multiple post-build commands?

Question

Visual Studio 2008 lets me declare a command and attach it to the post-build event for a project. Like a lot of developers, I use it regularly to xcopy files to the application output directory.

I am working on a project where I need to xcopy files from two different places to two different destinations, all within a single project. In other words, I need to invoke two different xcopy commands from the same post-build event. It looks like the post-build event will only take a single command, and that if I need to invoke multiple commands, I will have to put the commands in a *.bat file and call that from the post-build event.

Is that correct, or is there a simpler way to invoke two commands from the post-build event? Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

You can type in as many post build commands as you want. Just separate them by newlines.

Here's an example from one of my projects.
