Is there a way to automatically copy files to the bin directory when you
build a vb.net solution?

e.g. copy the latest chm file to the bin directory?

Thanks;

Hi Michael,

The semi-automatic way is to create a macro which will do the copying for
you (Tools/Macros). This macro can then be assigned to a Keystroke or a new
ToolBar Button.

The automatic way is to create an Add-In which will react to build events
in the IDE and then do the required copying.

How to write an Add-In ? Well, there's a question! Lots of learning coming
up. :-)

Regards,
Fergus
