> Can you provide a small repro for this issue ? Gyaaaghh!!!
Ok, I figured out how to output stuff from the build event (echo command, just like DOS) and found out where it was going wrong. The build event looks like this: copy "$(ProjectDir)ServerUnitTesting.dll.config" "$(ProjectDir)\$(OutDir)ServerUnitTesting.dll.config" Ok, fair enough, it was copying the .config file into the application's build directory. This is all good. But my build file redirects the output to x:\out\puffin\bin, so the actual path looks like this: x:\Source Code\puffin2\Server\ServerUnitTesting\\x:\out\puffin\bin\ No wonder it thinks the path is freaky. I could change the build event to this: copy "$(ProjectDir)ServerUnitTesting.dll.config" "$(ProjectDir)\$(OutDir)ServerUnitTesting.dll.config" but then it fails building from VS.NET. If you want, I could still get a sample project together, but there seems to be little point now that I've figured it out. It looks like I won't be able to redirect my project output (which I was doing because it makes bringing all our projects into one build folder, ready for deployment). Or I'll have to prohibit the use of build events in VS.NET. Seems like a fairly hefty oversight by MS, if you ask me. $(OutDir) should evaluate to a full path. Of course, we could change the path from the default of bin\debug\ but for every project??? Ok, any chance of being able to override the build events?
