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

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices. Then on the Sounds tab you'll find a set of sounds for Microsoft Visual Studio in the Program Events list. You can attach a sound to build finishing, etc.
