Hello,

I am running into an issue when trying to batch a copy operation. If I remove the %(RecursiveDir) from the code below, the script works, although all the files are copied under the main destination folder. I would expect that using %(RecursiveDir) to solve this problem, although, it doesn't work. How should the script be modified to recursively copy files to multiple destinations?

Thank you,
Alin

Unfortunately batching on another ItemGroupusing RecursiveDir doesn't work. You need to introduce a new ItemGroup and use it to do the multiple copy, e.g.

<Project ToolsVersion="3.5" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<ItemGroup>
<IISSourceFiles Include="c:\demo1\**\*.*"/>
<SetE Include="01">
<IISServerShare>C:\Temp\1</IISServerShare>
<Do>true</Do>
</SetE>
<SetE Include="02">
<IISServerShare>C:\temp\2</IISServerShare>
<Do>true</Do>
</SetE>
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="Main">
<ItemGroup>
<FileToCopy Include="@(IISSourceFiles)">
<Destination>%(SetE.IISServerShare)</Destination>
</FileToCopy>
</ItemGroup>
<Copy SourceFiles="@(FileToCopy)" DestinationFolder="%(Destination)\%(RecursiveDir)" />
</Target>
</Project>
