MSBuild add file to primary output

问题

How can i add some custom file created by MSBuild to project output? i.e. I have blank .csproj, I add Exec task to Target that generates some file.txt and now i want to include this file into "primary output" or "content files".

Thanks, Marek

Generally, you just need to include the output files you have and then copy them to the output directory.

<CreateItem Include="$(SourcePath)\file.txt">
  <Output ItemName="FilesToCopy" TaskParameter="Include" />
</CreateItem>

<Copy SourceFiles="@(FilesToCopy)" DestinationFolder="$(OutDir)" />

There's also a variable $(OutputDirectory) for the immediate project. There are many other properties you may find useful also:
