Visual Studio Build Events not equal condition [duplicate]

Question

Is there a way to have a not equal condition in build events ?

Like this:

if $(ConfigurationName) != Debug xcopy ...

Note that this is build event (batch-like syntax), not MSBuild task (which indeed supports != ).

Answer 1

Update:

My bad, I thought it's for MSBuild. But if it's for only Build event than it will work like batch script

if not "$(ConfigurationName)" == "Debug" (
  echo "hello world"
)

For MSBuild

It's like following

Condition="'$(Configuration)'!='DEBUG'"

ex:

<When Condition=" '$(Configuration)'!='DEBUG' ">
....
</When>
