Setting working directory for custom build steps in Visual Studio 2008

Question

是否可以在Visual Studio 2008 C ++项目中为“自定义生成步骤”命令设置工作目录？

In the Property Pages dialog for the file with the custom build step, select the Command Line field and click the ... button:

In the Command Line dialog, you can add multiple commands that all will be executed for the custom build. To change the working directory to C:\\MyFolder and launch MyProgram.exe located in that folder, add the following lines:

An alternative is to define all this in a bat file such as MyCustomBuild.bat and call it in the Command Line field: call MyCustomBuild.bat
