Hi Everyone,

I am following the how to create a smart component guide (RobotStudio SDK, [https://developercenter.robotstudio.com/api/robotstudio/articles/How-To/SmartComponent/Creating-a-SmartComponent.html](https://developercenter.robotstudio.com/api/robotstudio/articles/How-To/SmartComponent/Creating-a-SmartComponent.html) )

**The problem:**  
My code outputs all types of files exept the file I want because the .rslib file is nowhere to be found.  
Did anyone came across this already and do you have a solution because now I am stuck. I use the exact code as in the how to guide.

With kind regards,  
Nick

**Problem solved!**  
The problem was caused in the Post-build event command line.

_Wrong way (this was automaticly set in VS):_  
_copy /y “$(TargetPath)” “$(ProjectDir)”_  
_“D:\RobotStudio\Bin\LibraryCompiler.exe” “$(ProjectDir)SCTest2.xml”_

_Right way:_  
_“D:\RobotStudio\Bin\LibraryCompiler.exe” “$(ProjectDir)SCTest2.xml”_

_copy /y “$(TargetPath)” “$(ProjectDir)”_

So you have to swap the post-build event lines if you have the same problem.
