Copy Resources while building project

Question

How can I copy Resources subdirectory to TargetDir after Build?

I tried:

copy “$(ProjectDir)\Resources” “$(TargetDir)”

but this copy files, not directory

EDIT

xcopy /s “$(ProjectDir)\Resources” “$(TargetDir)”

gives the same result

Answer 1

Try this:

xcopy /ey "$(ProjectDir)CellEditing" "$(TargetDir)CellEditing\"

• The /e parameter is used to indicate recursive copy (including empty directories)
• The /y parameter is used so it overwrites files if you run it again
• Don't forget the trailing \ at the end of the destination otherwise xcopy doesn't know whether you are specifying an output directory or an output file name.
