Copy Task .csproj example
Better option than marking files as embedded resources, particularly when working on cross platform environments with strings.
.csproj
```
<ItemGroup>
<TestData Include="./SampleFiles/**" />
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="CopyCustomContent" AfterTargets="AfterBuild">
<Copy SourceFiles="@(TestData)" DestinationFolder="$(OutDir)/TestData" SkipUnchangedFiles="true" />
</Target>
```

DestinationFolder also supports recursive copying, e.g.

<Copy SourceFiles="@(TestData)" DestinationFolder="$(OutputPath)/TestData/%(RecursiveDir)" SkipUnchangedFiles="true" />
