Build Events - A small but useful feature

Well, this is nothing new,but I do find the Build Events very handy in C# projects. With this you can run tools from the command line pre-build or post build of a project. One example usage of this is to publish the project binary files to a build/test server when the project compiles successfully. This feature was not available for VB.NET projects in VS.NET 2003 version, but this will make its way into the VS 2005 version.

I thought this was already in the community releases, but I lose track of what's in which release. Anyway, VB will have build events and you'll get to them from the Compile tab of the application designer. There'll be a button called "Build Events" that will let you set them.

Thanks for the correction Paul. It was rather clumsy on my side to not have seen the Build Events button on the compile tab. I am correcting the post right away.
