The Command Copy Exited With Code 1 Visual Studio 2013

Posted on 2008-02-13 .NET Programming MS DOS Web Applications 1 Verified Solution 6 Comments 27,416 Views Last Modified: 2013-11-26 Hello All, I'm new to web programming so i'm trying a few tutorials to improve my understanding of how to load and configure web application solutions and projects in VS2005 and came across what will probably be a simple error for most of you out there. I'm trying to configure a pre-build event command line in the "Build Events" tab of my project's properties node. I wrote what i thought was a simple copy command and it looks like this: copy $(SolutionDir)MyUserControlLibrary\*.ascx $(ProjectDir)UserControls\ but i get this error message: The command "copy C:\Documents\Login.server\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\MyUserControlLibrary\*.ascx C:\Documents\Login.server\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\MYWebProject\UserControls\" exited with code 1. Mostly i'm looking for what this means and how to fix it, as well as where i can find a list of exit codes to prepare for these in the future. If anyone knows any good sites for VS2005 tutorials, i'll take some ideas for those as well. I have to take over a rather large solution/project and i'm trying to figure out how to make sure i have all the projects & files setup correctly with IIS and SQL Server 2005.
