Hi

We all ready have build scripts that creates our web application folders very nicely. We create multiple folders for each environment, and then change the configs in those folders according to the environment.

How can we get the same results as what _CopyWebApplication does?

Example:

<MSBuild
Projects="$(SourceCodeCheckoutFolder)\source\UI\$(ProjectName)\$(ProjectName).csproj"
Targets="ResolveReferences; ResolveProjectReferences; _CopyWebApplication"
ToolsVersion="3.5" StopOnFirstFailure="False" RunEachTargetSeparately="False"
</MSBuild>
