How to specify folder structure with msbuild copy task

Question

I have the following msbuild script that copies the entire DeploymentDirectory to the VersionSpecificDirectory. Here is the snippet:

<CreateItem Include="$(DeploymentDirectory)/**/*.*" >   <Output ItemName="AllDeploymentFilesToCopy" TaskParameter="Include" /> </CreateItem> <Copy SourceFiles="@(AllDeploymentFilesToCopy)"       DestinationFiles="@(AllDeploymentFilesToCopy->'$(VersionSpecificDirectory)\%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)')" /> 

What would the script be for copying all the files in the DeploymentDirectory instead of the directory itself?

Update: I tried changing the direction of the slash to be a backward slash and the problem still exists.

Another Update: This was unrelated to the msbuild code. Both the code in my question and the code in the answer works fine for doing this.

Answer 1

Try this:

<ItemGroup>     <MySourceFiles Include="c:\MySourceTree\**\*.*"/> </ItemGroup>  <Target Name="CopyFiles">     <Copy         SourceFiles="@(MySourceFiles)"         DestinationFiles="@(MySourceFiles->'c:\MyDestinationTree\%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)')"     /> </Target>
