• Visual Studio How do I create an application.extension.config file using MSBuild?

  Hi, I'm using MSBuild to build an executable program (exe) from VB.net source code. How do I get MSBuild to output an ApplicationName.exe.config file Thanks, Damian MSBuild does not generate .CONFIG files on its own.  The only thing it can do for you is copy an existing .CONFIG file from your project to the final bin directory.  So, if you have a file in your project called "APP.CONFIG", then MSBuild will copy this file ...Show All
