Take the 2-minute tour ×  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.  share|improve

want. Just separate them by newlines.  Here's an example from
one of my projects:  alt text  share|im
