Build events not honoring multiple command-line arguments

Question

I have the following as my post-build event in a C# .NET 4.0 project in Visual Studio 2010:

call \"$(SolutionDir)Publish\\Publish.exe\" \"$(TargetDir)\" \"\\         


        

Answer 1

I'm not getting this behaviour at all.

I created a post-build event of

call "$(SolutionDir)test.cmd" "$(SolutionDir)a.txt" "$(SolutionDir)b.txt"

Where test.cmd contains:

if '%1' == '' GOTO END
notepad.exe %1
if '%2' == '' GOTO END
notepad.exe %2
:END

a.txt & b.txt just have "This is File A" & "This is File B"

When I do the build, Notepad fires up with a.txt, and when I close it then Notepad fires up with b.txt.

So the parameters are definitely being sent separately for me.

Can you try this same test to see what behaviour you get?
