How to invoke the same msbuild target twice with different parameters from within msbuild project fi
- by mark
Dear ladies and sirs.
I have the following piece of msbuild code:
<PropertyGroup>
<DirA>C:\DirA\</DirA>
<DirB>C:\DirB\</DirB>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="CopyToDirA"
Condition="Exists('$(DirA)') AND '@(FilesToCopy)' != ''"
Inputs="@(FilesToCopy)"
Outputs="@(FilesToCopy -> '$(DirA)%(Filename)%(Extension)')">
<Copy SourceFiles="@(FilesToCopy)" DestinationFolder="$(DirA)" />
</Target>
<Target Name="CopyToDirB"
Condition="Exists('$(DirB)') AND '@(FilesToCopy)' != ''"
Inputs="@(FilesToCopy)"
Outputs="@(FilesToCopy -> '$(DirB)%(Filename)%(Extension)')">
<Copy SourceFiles="@(FilesToCopy)" DestinationFolder="$(DirB)" />
</Target>
<Target Name="CopyFiles" DependsOnTargets="CopyToDirA;CopyToDirB"/>
So invoking the target CopyFiles copies the relevant files to $(DirA) and $(DirB), provided they are not already there and up-to-date.
But the targets CopyToDirA and CopyToDirB look identical except one copies to $(DirA) and the other - to $(DirB). Is it possible to unify them into one target first invoked with $(DirA) and then with $(DirB)?
Thanks.
