How to fire VS post-build events without rebuilding

Question

I have a bunch of VS 2005 C ++ projects that build many DLLs and executables that make up a small part of a large, interdependent file hierarchy. To debug files, I copy the built-in execs / dlls to the event hierarchy after the build. Sometimes I update my hierarchy, but I have all my projects up to date - in this case, all I need to do is execute post-build events (i.e., Copy Files) without rebuilding all the sources. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

Until you rebuild, the build operation should not do more than execute these events if there are no changes to the source code.
