Post build event not working with msbuild.exe

Question

I have a post build event which is writing to a text file. It is working fine when I am building the project from Visual Studio. But when I am using msbuild.exe the Post build event is not writing to the file. I am using msbuild with following parameters: ``` msbuild.exe TestProj.Web.csproj /p:Configuration=Release /p:OutDir=C:\TestProj\bin\ /p:WebProjectOutputDir=C:\TestProj\ /p:DebugSymbols=false /p:DebugType=None ``` The post build event looks like: ``` None None None ```

Accepted Answer

I have got it fixed by changing the Task to

```
<WriteLinesToFile File="$(OutDir)\VersionInfo.txt" ...... />
```
