post-build-event

Hi I am running following command from my post build event: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\mt.exe -manifest "$(ProjectDir)$(TargetName).exe.manifest" -updateresource:"$(TargetDir)$(TargetName).exe;#1" It is failing with Exited with code 9009... I don't understand why this happens; any suggestions? jqa Try adding quotes around the mt.exe path, e.g.: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\mt.exe" Also, make sure that path is valid. Hope this helps. I've been beating my head against code 9009 all day and a full quoted path seem to make it work. Nathan Wheeler Exit

I want to run a batch script every time before starting program for debugging. For the build events, such functionality is realized using pre-build event, post-build event. For actual debugging, I could not find any pre-Debug, post-Debug events. How to realize this scenario? I am using VS2008, .net framework 3.5, c# application. I am opposed to idea of creating some extra lines of code within the application that would fire-up external batch file. Reddog I realise you wished to avoid additional code, but in your Main function you could use Debugger.IsAttached() to kick off your work for you.

In Visual Studio 2013, how do I minify Javascript and CSS in the post-build step? I'd like to have every single css and js file compress into a .min.js, or .min.css in the same folder. I don't want to check in the minified files, but rather just have them generated post-build. With Microsoft Ajax Minifier you could create powershell script to create minified versions of all files in given folder and add it to Post-build events. Example for js files(it will be similar for css): Get-ChildItem *.js -Exclude *.min.js | Foreach-Object{ $file = [io.fileinfo]$_.Name ajaxmin $file.Name -out "$($file

I'm trying to start an instance of grunt watch whenever a particular project is run from VisualStudio. I have a single page-app written in ember, and compiled with grunt, which connects to a backend written with WebAPI. I'm trying to reduce friction so it's possible to Start Debugging (F5) in VS and have it get everything up and going. If I add a post-build event to compile the app with grunt, it works fine: node node_modules\grunt-cli\bin\grunt dev --no-color grunt watch never terminates, so the VisualStudio build appears to hang until you terminate the node.exe process (which is mostly

This question is written in several places (like here and here ). In the second question there is a comment that says to use ResHacker.exe -addoverwrite "Project.exe", "Project.exe", "ProgramIcon.ico", ICONGROUP, MAINICON, 0 I also tried using -modify instead of -addoverwrite ResHacker.exe -modify "Project.exe", "Project.exe", "ProgramIcon.ico", ICONGROUP, MAINICON, 0 but the result is the same. The icon is changed: if I right click on the exe file and check the properties I see that the icon has been changed, but in Windows Explorer I still see the old icon. If I open it with Resource Hacker

I have added the following code to a VisualC++ 2010 .vcxproj file just inside the first <project> tag: <PropertyGroup> <PilotStationDirectory>\..\..\PilotStation\PilotStationApp\$(Configuration)</PilotStationDirectory> </PropertyGroup> <ItemGroup> <MySourceFiles Include="$(TargetName).dll;$(TargetName).lib;$(TargetName).pdb" /> </ItemGroup> <Target Name="AfterBuild"> <MakeDir Directories="$(PilotStationDirectory)" /> <Copy SourceFiles="@(MySourceFiles)" DestinationFolder="$(PilotStationDirectory)" /> <Message Text="###I AM HERE###" /> </Target> I have set the "MSBuild project build output/log
