I have a solution with 3 projects in it. I need to copy a view from one project to another. I’m able to copy the created DLL via post build events like so:

enter image description here

So i want to copy the file in project one ‘/Views/ModuleHome/Index.cshtml’ to a folder in project 2.
How do I copy file(s) to my desired project via post-build event? Thanks

    xcopy "$(ProjectDir)Views\Home\Index.cshtml" "$(SolutionDir)MEFMVCPOC\Views\Home"

    and if you want to copy entire folders:

    xcopy /E /Y "$(ProjectDir)Views" "$(SolutionDir)MEFMVCPOC\Views"

    Update: here’s the working version

    xcopy "$(ProjectDir)Views\ModuleAHome\Index.cshtml" "$(SolutionDir)MEFMVCPOC\Views\ModuleAHome\" /Y /I

    Here are some commonly used switches with xcopy:

    • /I – treat as a directory if copying multiple files.
    • /Q – Do not display the files being copied.
    • /S – Copy subdirectories unless empty.
    • /E – Copy empty subdirectories.
    • /Y – Do not prompt for overwrite of existing files.
    • /R – Overwrite read-only files.
