Title Body

I am doing the following: I have created a default class file project Edited the csproj file to include Pre and Post BuildEvents Uncomment the default commented out BeforeBuild and AfterBuild targets The BeforeBuild and AfterBuild targets are not called form within Visual Studio but are from msbuild command line, why is that? I would rather use msbuild targets rather than the PostBuildEvent as if gives me more power and flexibility, assuming it works. Cheers, adam I shortened some of the paths in the output, so if they are inconsistent that is why ClassLibrary1.csproj changes <Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" /> <Target Name="BeforeBuild"> <Message Text="### BeforeBuild ###" /> </Target> <Target Name="AfterBuild"> <Message Text="### AfterBuild ###" /> </Target> <PropertyGroup> <PreBuildEvent>echo PRE_BUILD</PreBuildEvent> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup> <PostBuildEvent>echo POST_BUILD</PostBuildEvent> </PropertyGroup> my build output from VS 2010 is ------ Rebuild All started: Project: ClassLibrary1, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------ PRE_BUILD ClassLibrary1 -> c:\ClassLibrary1\bin\Debug\ClassLibrary1.dll POST_BUILD ========== Rebuild All: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ========== and from the command line #>msbuild ClassLibrary1.sln Microsoft (R) Build Engine Version 4.0.30319.1 [Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 4.0.30319.239] Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 2007.
