VJs Tip Of The Day - September 16th 2004

Xcopy Deployment

Xcopy command is used to easily copy all the files of a .Net application to a target installation directory... For applications that do not require any further registration Xcopy is command is the simplest way to distribute your .Net applications...

Do note that Xcopy command does not copy the hidden and system files... Also note that Xcopy creates files with the archive attribute set, whether or not this attribute was set in the source file...If you have a disk that contains files in subdirectories and you want to copy it to a disk that has a different format, you should use the Xcopy command instead of Diskcopy. Since the Diskcopy command copies disks track by track, it requires that your source and destination disks have the same format. Xcopy has no such requirement. In general, use Xcopy unless you need a complete disk image copy or you wish to copy the system files.

PS: All I ever needed to Know, Most of what I needed to know about how to live, And what to do and how to be, I learnt in Kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the Graduate school mountain, But there in the sandbox at Nursery school. These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don’t take things that aren’t yours. Say sorry when you hurt somebody. ......Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and Nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that....
These are the wonderful words of Robert Fulgam... Read his book "All I Need To Know, I Learnt in Kindergarten" and do remember- "Technology should not overwhelm you"...
