Automatically copy files to build location

[Greg Bacchus]

I'm just wondering if there is any way of automatically copying misc project
files (such as, say, XML files) to the build output directory when the
project is built?

Cheers

Write a batch file that copies the file(s) and make that a postbuild action.
Go to project settings/BuildEvents and specify the batch file on the
post-build event command line.

This would copy the files after EVERY build, so if the files don't change much, I'd copy them manually.
