Copy files after successful build

Hi all

Is it possible to copy certain files from the bin directory for a project
into another directory after a successful build using a VB.NET project?

My project compiles a dll and also copies a referenced file into the bin
folder, I want these 2 files going into a folder somewhere else, and I can't
be bothered manually copying the files all the time :o)

Regards,
Steve

If you can find a more direct way that might be better, but you might
take a look at NAnt to do your builds. It will do this and much, much
more. This page talks about NAnt/VS.NET integration and might
indirectly give you the hooks into VS.NET that you could use to solve
your need directly.

HTH and good luck.
