Can the RemoveDir remove a destination directory even if it has some
content? I think i tried that a while back with little sucess? :(
also, this is a copy/paste of the end of my msbuild file currently
(which works fine).
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
<!--
<Message Importance="high" Text="Folders to delete: @(Files)" />
<Message Importance="high" Text="Folders to delete: @(RootFolders)"
/>
<RemoveDir Directories="@(RootFolders)" >
<Output TaskParameter="RemovedDirectories"
PropertyName="RemovedDirs" />
</RemoveDir>
<Message Text="Folders deleted: @(RemovedDirs)" />
-->
<!-- Backup the entire website (as a zip file) to TFS backup folder.
Why there? That folder is usually backed up to
DVD so all subfolders can also get backed up :) -->
<Zip ZipFileName="\\colorado\Tfs Backups\AppianWebSite.zip"
Files="@(PrecompiledOutput)" />
<!-- Copy the website contents to correct target site. -->
<Copy
DestinationFiles="@(PrecompiledOutput->'$(DestinationWebServer)%(Recursi
veDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)')" SourceFiles="@(PrecompiledOutput)" />
<!-- Removed unused files -->
<Message Importance="high" Text="Removing unused files..." />
<Delete Files="@(UnusedFile)" ContinueOnError="false" />
<Message Importance="high" Text="Removing unused files succeeded."
/>
<Message Importance="high" Text="Configuration: $(Configuration)."
/>
<Message Importance="high" Text="Plaform: $(Platform)." />
</Target>

I'm not overly familiar with the website side of things but I can't see
any reason you can't add a Target to your TFSBuild.proj that uses the
RemoveDir task to remove the destination directory. The question is
which of Team Build's targets you should override to do this. I think
doing it in AfterClean would be too early because if your build fails
then you won't have a website any more. You will need to find out in
which step the deployment project does the publish and then override one
of the targets that gets executed before this.

Sorry William for not explaining the question more succinctly.
We're using TFS for Web Site applications along with Deployment Projects
to copy the website from source->destination. Some of our TFS Team
Builds use a configuration which includes the Deployment Project.
I'm under the impression that the deployment project uses MSBuild?
therefore I was wondering how it could be possible to completely
clean/delete/remove the _web site_ destination directory just before the
<Copy ... /> task thingy is fired.
BTW, we can use the ZIP task to zip the destination folder if that makes
people sleep better at night :)
Does this clarify my previous post/question?
cheers :)

Team Build copies the output into a sub-directory of the DropFolder
which is based on the BuildNumber so this destination will always be
clean.
The Team Build process performs the following actions as part of its
Clean process:
1. Removes the SolutionRoot folder (where the source-code is
stored).
2. Removes the BinariesRoot folder (where the build output is
stored).
3. Removes the TestResultsRoot folder (where the test results are
stored).
So with these two things your build should be pretty clean, what isn't
being deleted automatically that you would expect to be?
If you do need to do any custom cleaning you can override either the
BeforeClean or AfterClean targets.

Now that Grant has his problem solved and William seems to be an MSBuild
guru ... I might throw in a semi-related question :) [read: Attention
William :) ]
Is there a way to have the build totally clean / remove _all_ files from
the destination directory before the copy over?
