add a task on build time visual studio

Is it possible to add a task in visual studio project build time?

My specific purpose is to copy a file and paste it somewh开发者_JS百科ere else. Its a configuration file. If yes then is there any type of tasks i can add to build time ???

I am using visual studio 2010 (but will love to know about other versions too).

Go to the properties of the project, under the build events tab you can enter pre and post build actions. You can pretty much run any executable or shell command.
