XProj/SDK … or use

In the previous post, Use XProj/SDK project files with ASP.NET Web Apps, I describe creating a custom AfterBuild Target which would copy over the files from the standard `/bin/{configuration}/{architecture}` dll output location to the standard `/bin` webapp output location.

A coworker pointed output can be controlled with the `<OutDir>` build property. Which is way easier to use. So, here’s an updated .csproj file:

	<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
	<PropertyGroup Label="Globals">
	<GenerateDocumentationFile>true</GenerateDocumentationFile>
	<NoWarn>$(NoWarn);CS1591;CA1724;CS1574</NoWarn>
	<OutDir>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\bin\</OutDir>
	</PropertyGroup>
	<PropertyGroup>
	<TargetFramework>net48</TargetFramework>
	</PropertyGroup>
	<ItemGroup>
	<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc" Version="5.2.7" />
	<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNet.TelemetryCorrelation" Version="1.0.8" />
	<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi" Version="5.2.7" />
	<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform" Version="3.6.0" />
	<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.CSharp" Version="4.5.0" />
	<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Owin" Version="3.0.1" />
	<PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="12.0.1" />
	</ItemGroup>
	<ItemGroup>
	<Content Include="Web.Int.config">
	<DependentUpon>Web.config</DependentUpon>
	</Content>
	<Content Include="Web.QA.config">
	<DependentUpon>Web.config</DependentUpon>
	</Content>
	<Content Include="Web.Prod.config">
	<DependentUpon>Web.config</DependentUpon>
	</Content>
	</ItemGroup>
	</Project>
