My project is in a child/inner directory but that library directory that I want to include is in a parent/upper directory. My project directory: H:Gmail04gsasl-1.0liblibgsaslMain. It seems to work just fine in VS2013 Update 3 again, not sure about U2 and U1. – iFreilicht Oct.
A one-to-many relationship connects one record in the parent table to many records in the child table.
Set the relationship to connect orders to customers or doctors to patients. One customer can have many orders and one doctor can have many patients. This way, you don’t have to repeat all the customer contact information on each order nor all the doctor contact information on each patient.
A one-to-one relationship connects one record in the parent table to one record in the child table.
This isn’t a common relationship type but can be used if you need to split a table that contains many fields into two tables.
Relate the primary key field in the parent table with that same field (not the primary key) in the child table.
This is the most common scenario. The parent table contains a primary key field and the child table contains the same field name. For example, a Customers and Orders table might share a CustomerID. CustomerID is normally the primary key of Customers and a foreign key in Orders.
Fields joined in the relationship must be of the same data type.
You can’t relate a text field in the parent table to a number field in the child table or visa-versa. The fields must be either text fields or number fields in each table.
Enforce referential integrity in the Edit Relationships dialog to prevent “orphan” record entry in the child table.
An orphan is a record in the child table that doesn’t have a corresponding record in the parent table. The classic example is an order in an Orders table for a customer not in the Customers table. Referential integrity prevents entering these kinds of orphan orders.
Set cascade update related fields in the Edit Relationships dialog to update the key value in the child table when it’s updated in the parent table.
Suppose you have two tables, a list of categories in an ExpenseType table (field name Category) and a field in an Expenses table called Category. The Category field in Expenses is populated by a combo box that pulls its data from the ExpenseType table’s Category field.
Further suppose that a typo was made for Dining, it was spelled Dinning. If you’d set cascade update related fields, you can edit Dinning in ExpenseType to Dining and it will change on every record where used in the Expenses table.
Set cascade delete related records in the Edit Relationships dialog to delete related records in the child table when the corresponding record is deleted in the parent table.
With this setting on in a relationship between CustomerID in Customer and CustomerID in Orders, delete a customer record and you’ll delete all the orders for that customer.
Setting relationships between tables automatically sets joins for those tables when building queries.
Relationship joins are carried through to query design view. If you set a relationship between Customers and Orders on CustomerID, you’ll see that join line when you add those tables to a new query in query design.
Delete a field that is part of a relationship and you’ll delete the relationship.
You can’t have a relationship between two fields if one of them is missing, right? So, Access removes the broken relationship when you delete a field that’s part of that relationship.
If a primary key is part of a relationship, you can’t change the primary key in that table to another field without first deleting the relationship.
To change primary keys in a table where its primary key is part of a relationship, you must first open the Relationships window and delete the relationship before Access will allow you to change the primary key to another field in that table.
On a successful build, I wish to copy the contents of the output directory to a different location under the same 'base' folder. This parent folder is a relative part and can vary based on Source Control settings.
I have listed a few of the Macro values available to me ...
$(SolutionDir) = D:GlobalDirVersionAppNameSolution1build
$(ProjectDir) = D:GlobalDirVersionAppNameSolution1VersionProjectA
I want to copy the Output Dir contents to the following folder :
D:GlobalDirVersionAppNameSolution2ProjectDependency
The base location 'D:GlobalDirVersionAppName' needs to be fetched from one of the above macros. However, none of the macro values list only the parent location.
How do I extract only the base location for the post build copy command ?

If none of the TargetDir or other macros point to the right place, use the '..' directory to go backwards up the folder hierarchy.
ie. Use
$(SolutionDir)....
to get your base directory.For list of all macros, see here:

Here is what you want to put in the project's Post-build event command line:
EDIT: Or if your target name is different than the Project Name.

I think this is related, but I had a problem when building directly using
msbuild
command line (from a batch file) vs building from within VS.Using something like the following:
(note:
start XCOPY
rather than XCOPY
used to get around a permissions issue which prevented copying)The macro
$(SolutionDir)
evaluated to ..
when executing msbuild from a batchfile, which resulted in the XCOPY
command failing. It otherwise worked fine when built from within Visual Studio. Confirmed using /verbosity:diagnostic
to see the evaluated output.Using the macro
drzausdrzaus$(ProjectDir)..
instead, which amounts to the same thing, worked fine and retained the full path in both build scenarios.16.1k77 gold badges9090 silver badges153153 bronze badges
Would it not make sense to use msbuild directly? If you are doing this with every build, then you can add a msbuild task at the end? If you would just like to see if you can’t find another macro value that is not showed on the Visual Studio IDE, you could switch on the msbuild options to diagnostic and that will show you all of the variables that you could use, as well as their current value.
To switch this on in visual studio, go to Tools/Options then scroll down the tree view to the section called Projects and Solutions, expand that and click on Build and Run, at the right their is a drop down that specify the build output verbosity, setting that to diagnostic, will show you what other macro values you could use.
Because I don’t quite know to what level you would like to go, and how complex you want your build to be, this might give you some idea. I have recently been doing build scripts, that even execute SQL code as part of the build. If you would like some more help or even some sample build scripts, let me know, but if it is just a small process you want to run at the end of the build, the perhaps going the full msbuild script is a bit of over kill.
Hope it helpsRihan
