How to write a post build event 1

[Programming2007]

Hi all I looked at the website

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/42x5kfw4(VS.80).aspx

to try to write a successful post build event. My current post build event is:
copy $(TargetPath) $(SolutionDir)\PEGF\$(OutDir)
I get the warning message "Post-Build Event failed". I am able to copy the class file name dll into the solution directory's output folder and it works. I am running this program several times and need to fix the build event. I even wrote the path names manually, for example Post Build Event would be....
copy C:\Documents and Settings\Allyson.ALLYNOTEBOOK\My Documents\iri\pegf\pegf\pegf\Algorithm3\bin\Debug\Algorithm3.dll C:\Documents and Settings\Allyson.ALLYNOTEBOOK\My Documents\iri\pegf\pegf\pegf\PEGF\bin\Debug
......and that fails!!! What could be the problem?????

I fixed it, the file paths were too long so I copied it to the C drive which is shorter.

I don't think it was that the paths are too long I think the problem was the spaces in the paths.

If you change it to the following it sould work with your current paths:
copy "$(TargetPath)" "$(SolutionDir)\PEGF\$(OutDir)"
