Post.-Build step, where did it go ?
-
Hi, I remember reading that the Post-Build Step has disappeared from Visual Studio .NET, could someone confirm this ?. And, if that is the case and I just want to copy my compiled project to various directories at the end of the compile process, should I write an Add-in just to do this ?. Thanks, Andres Manggini.

There appears to be no post build event for Web Forms or Window Forms projects. (I don't know about other solution/projects). The following applies to unmanaged C++ projects (like VS6 projects ported to VS7): Right click on your project (not solution, but project) and select "properties" from the popup menu. In the properties dialog: 1. Open the Configuration Properties, if not already open. 2. Open the "Build Events" folder 3. Click on "Post-Build Event" 4. Enter your command line. It took me a few minutes to find it when I converted to VS.NET! That may or may not help, depending on the type of your solution. Marc

Thanks, I forgot to mention, I'm using Class Library and Winform project with C# as language. I'm not sure what would be the best solution in replace of Post-Build Andres Manggini. Buenos Aires - Argentina.

For C#/VB.NET projects, there are build no build-rules steps like there are in VC++. I can't beleive that MS left that part out. I had to write an Addin that would add this functionality to C#/VB builds. It was done at work, for work, though, so I can't release the source :( But writing the addin isn't that hard. And it's a good chance to get a feel for the AWESOME amount of customization and extendibility that can be bolted into VS.NET. -- Russell Morris "WOW!
