Project post-build event command to copy files to a local folder or network share in VS

I wanted to copy DLL files to a network share. I am dynamically loading assemblies in different applications and can not risk changing file paths.

I don’t want to mess up Visual Studio default binary locations. The work around is to do XCOPY in visual studio post build event;

XCOPY "$(TargetDir)*" "\\Netowrk Path\FolderName\" /S /Y

It’s that simple.
