Excellent article, thank you! I used the above code in the csproj file by just changing the BinFiles node to: BinFiles Include="$(OutputPath)\*.*" And adding the Target as a Dependency in the following Target: Target Name="BeforeBuild" DependsOnTargets="Clean" It works really well. Cheers, Patrick. Sorry, posting again because it didn’t allowed me to post tags.

In theory what you want to do should be achievable. Andy, I’m not familiar with LaTeX but if you just want to call programs from the command line then MSBuild can do that with the Exec command.

Thank you in advance. Your article sounds very interesting. It might be what I am looking for.
