may i ask how to write 2 command lines in "post build event command line " in VS 2010?

for example:

I want to execute 2 command lines

xcopy "$(ProjectDir)\lib\project.exe" "$(TargetDir)" /Y

xcopy "$(ProjectDir)\lib\project.exe.config" "$(TargetDir)" /Y

In the BuildEvent how could I write? thank u very much

In Visual Studio 2010 SP1, I typed the following the "Post-build event command line" box of a C# project:

echo haa
echo hoo

Visual Studio saved this setting to the following property In the .csproj file:

  <PropertyGroup>
    <PostBuildEvent>echo haa
echo hoo</PostBuildEvent>
  </PropertyGroup>

When I built the project, the following appeared in the Output window:

PostBuildEvent:
  echo haa
  echo hoo
  haa
  hoo

Build succeeded.

Thus, it doesn't look like you need to do anything special. Simply put newlines between the commands.

I did not try the same with a C++ or C++/CLI project though. What type of project are you editing?

Are you getting any error? Otherwise, what you are doing is correct. Just put two commands in Post Build Events section of project properties.
