Execute a *.bat file in C# project
-
Hi all, On the release mode only, when build the project I want to execute a bat file. That bat file do another process. What I've try is add the bat file name as the command argument in project property as pre-build event command line. But it not works for me. Can anyone comments on this. Thanks you.

May be this works, because author is executing bat file in this article using post build event. http://www.highoncoding.com/Articles/398_Using%20Post-Build%20Event%20to%20Execute%20Unit%20Tests.aspx[^]

Actually I don;t want to run the project. Only in the build, compile, I want to run the .bat file. I've set the properties on post-build event command line as follows.
call $(ProjectDir)build_help.batIt calls the bat file correctly. But it's not execute. bat content like this.echo compiling help documentation "C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop\hhc.exe" Help.hhp echo done.error is,Unable to open Help.hhpBut when I double click on the bat file it works fine.I appreciate your help all the time...

Try specifying the file path for "Help.hhp", absolute path or place "Help.php" in the release/debug folder(whichever you are currently building on)
Seems it's fine. But now the case is I've to place all html files and stuff in bin folder too.

You can copy then back to where you want with a batch file :-D Did it not work with an absolute path ?
As I said earlier once the command is
call $(ProjectDir)build_help.batask to add bat file into the bin folder. If I added bat file into the bin, I have to change all paths.I appreciate your help all the time... CodingLover :)
