Proper way to put comments in build events command line?

What's the proper way to put comments into the pre/post build event command line?


Solution 1:

Use REM: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/comments.php

An example:

REM signtool sign /a $(TargetPath)
xcopy /Y "$(TargetPath)" "C:\Deploy\$(TargetFileName)"

Solution 2:

You can also use double colons ::

:: My comments
xcopy /Y "$(TargetPath)" "C:\Deploy\$(TargetFileName)"

I prefer these to the REM keyword in command line (and bat files).
