prebuild

I believe the problem is documented here moved here and looks like it might be a bug in visual studio, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a workaround. Basically I have the following two lines (among other things) one right after the other in the prebuild event. "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe" /p:configuration=Release;platform=x86 /t:rebuild "$(SolutionDir)Folder1\Project1.csproj" "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe" /p:configuration=Release;platform=x86 /t:rebuild "$(SolutionDir)Folder2\Folder3\Project2.csproj" The first one succeeds and the other

How can I run a script, which must execute before all other makefile commands? And it will be nice (but not mandatory) to the script is not executed if there is nothing to build. I've searched SO and Google, but can't find anything. I have this workaround: # myscript.bat output is empty CHEAT_ARGUMENT = (shell myscript.bat) CFLAGS += -DCHEAT_ARGUMENT=$(CHEAT_ARGUMENT) AFLAGS += -DCHEAT_ARGUMENT=$(CHEAT_ARGUMENT) But it's very ugly. Is there other way to run " pre-build step " in makefile ? I propose two solutions. The first mimics what NetBeans IDE generates: CC=gcc .PHONY: all clean all: post

Problem is if this process doesn't exist, build fails. I try to write something like this tasklist /nh /fi "imagename eq XDesProc.exe" | find /i "XDesProc.exe" && ( TASKKILL /F /IM "XDesProc.exe" ) || ( echo XAML designer is not running ) But ERRORLEVEL is equal to 1 too and bild fails if XDesProc.exe is not running. You could use a conditional test on the PID to avoid this: taskkill /f /fi "pid gt 0" /im xdesproc.exe 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15748355/how-to-kill-process-that-may-not-exist-on-prebuild-step-in-visual-studio

I'm customising a .csproj project to run some custom tasks before the main build. However, I can't get the tasks to execute at all. I uncommented the <Target Name="BeforeBuild" /> element in the .csproj file and added a simple Message task, but when I build, the message doesn't appear in my output, so it seems the task isn't running. So this fragment does not output the message; Listing 1: No Message Appears <Target Name="BeforeBuild"> <Message Text="About to build ORM layer" Importance="normal" /> </Target> However, if I screw with some of the attributes, I can get the .csproj to fail to

I've followed a blog post by Scott Hanselman for managing configuration with PreBuild Events and have it working fine. I now want to split up my configuration into a couple of different files, so need to exectue the command again before the build. The problem is the PreBuild event text all gets executed as one console command. How can I split it up as several commands? Turns out the problem is Scott's example doesn't include the call command at the start of the line. This is fine as long as you don't want to execute the .bat file multiple times with different parameters. This: call "$
