How do I get notification that the local Visual Studio build is complete?

Question

There doesn\'t seem to be a post-build solution task. One could presumably hack it by creating a dummy project that is the last one to build and put a beep in the post-buil

Answer 1

Do you need something like this (screenshot is there)?

Did you know you can assign sounds to a few Visual Studio events? You can assign a WAV file to play when a build fails or succeeds. Just open the Control Panel, select Sounds and Audio Devices and then click the Sounds tab. Scroll down to Microsoft Development Environment. I assigned my Build Succeeded to a WAV file of Darth Vader saying "All Too Easy" and my Build Failed to a WAV file of Han Solo saying "I got a bad feeling about this."
