Silverlight MSBuild Task - execute command line after Xap copied to ClientBin

Question

I have a silverlight project arranged as follows:

• Examples
  • Silverlight
    • Bin
      
      • Debug
  • ExampleCode

Answer 1

You can work around this by adding your files to XapFilesInputCollection in an AfterCompile target of your Silverlight project. Note however that including a bin folder directly in the project may result with an access denied error when compiling in Visual Studio.

<Target Name="AfterCompile">
  <ItemGroup>
    <XapFilesInputCollection Include="$(SolutionDir)Examples\Silverlight\Bin\$(Configuration)\ExampleCode"/>
  </ItemGroup>
</Target>
