Hi, in my project I have defined a post-build step, where the linked executable is moved to another directory. Now I have written an addin for the Visual Studio, which handles the BuildEvents and do some actions on the linked executable after the build.

I'm using Dotfuscator in Visual Studio 2010. I want to run Dotfuscator as a post build event so every time I build a project Dotfuscator will run on the output DLL using a configuration I've created and I'll get a new Dotfuscated DLL without having to manually open Dotfuscator. After it will be obfuscated, I'll resign it (using sn.exe)...

I've got a nice power-shell driven post-build script that does some magic mumbo-jumbo for pulling all our plugins into the correct location after they're compiled and sorting out thier dependencies with the master-project of the solution. My problem is, occasionally when I do something stupid, I can end up in a state where my script can...
Both project settings allow me to execute custom commands. What are the benefits or drawbacks of each? ...
I have C# wrapper code that calls functions from a native (C++) dll. Currently, I can add a reference to the C# dll and have set the 'Copy Local' option to true. However the native dll, which is a dependency, cannot be added as a reference - so there is no 'Copy Local' option. I have tried the following approaches Using a post-build ...
In Visual Studio 2008, can a the post build event be used with Click Once publishing? If so, how? Out of the box is looks like I can only use pre-build events and click once publishing seems to build the project to a different location, before the post build event is launched. ...
