No Build Events?

[sidprice]

It appears that Visual GDB does not support Visual Studio Build Events, the settings are missing from the project properties.

I need to run a batch file before each build and do not see a way to do that for VGDB projects. Is this possible?

Sorry, now I see them in the VGDB project properties under “Custom build steps”. I was looking in the VS project properties for them, which is where they are for a non-VGDB project.

Hi,

I also need to run a command before each build.

Have you been able to run your script as a “pre build event” with the custom step menu ?
The only thing I see are “post-compile xxx”, which run after the build.

Thanks by advance

Yes, my pre-build script works well. Here is a screen-shot.

Unfortunately I don’t have the “Custom build steps” TAB in my VisualGBD Project Properties … (Cf CAPTURE.PNG)

I only have Custom Step from the “common” project property Window. (Cf CAPTURE2.PNG)

Which Visual Studio version are you using ?

Thanks by advance.

Hi,

Sorry, the “Custom Build Steps” are only supported in the Custom edition of VisualGDB or higher. If you are using a lower edition, you can achieve the same functionality by adding a custom MSBuild target manually, however the VisualGDB GUI for managing custom actions easily won’t be available.

Hi,

Thanks, it did the trick by adding this :

   <Target Name="MyExeTarget" BeforeTargets="Build">
    <Exec Command="MyExe.exe -some args" />
  </Target>
