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

Personally I just have the "Output" window turn on by default and don't use the task list. This way I can see what it is doing at all times. I find the messages from this window to be much more enlightening than the task/error list.
