Re: SampleExternalModule: Post-Build Event Failed

Right Click the project, Properties, Build Events, Post-build Event Command Line.
I changed the post build to this on my external modules that I wrote...

xcopy /s /y "$(ProjectDir)*.ascx" "$(SolutionDir)Web\Modules\"
xcopy /s /y "$(ProjectDir)*.aspx" "$(SolutionDir)Web\"
xcopy /s /y "$(TargetPath)" "$(SolutionDir)Web\bin\"

Re: SampleExternalModule: Post-Build Event Failed

Thanks Richard,

I think the /y was just what it needed to get rid of the error.

Rueben,

You can get latest from svn trunk to fix that or you can safely ignore it because it is an error that hapens after the build, the build didn't really fail.

To understand what it is, right click the sample external project and go to properties then look at the post build events to see where the command is entered. All it does is copy the dll from the bin folder of the external sample to the bin folder of the web. The /y tells it to overwrite if already there.

This makes it easy so that the needed files from an external project can be copied into the web project after a build. Richard's example is even more complete because it copies more than just the dll so you can have the .ascx and .aspx in the separate project as well and they get copied to the correct locations in the web.

Cheers,

Joe
