Post build event execute PowerShell

Question

Is it possible to set up a .NET project with a post build event to execute a powershell script? I am using this script to generate some files.

Answer 1

Before calling power-shell script from visual studio, set the ExecutionPolicy to RemoteSigned from power-shell window like this...

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser;
ExecutionPolicy: RemoteSigned;

then call powershell script in the following manner...

(no need to pass full "powershell.exe" file path)

powershell.exe $(SolutionDir)Setup.ps1 -SolutionDir $(SolutionDir) -ProjectPath $(ProjectPath)

then in the script, you can always read the parameter like this...

param([string]$SolutionDir,
     [string]$ProjectPath);
#Write-Host ($SolutionDir +" Call this script with following aruments");
#Write-Host ($ProjectPath +" Call this script with following aruments");
