In some projects build events aren't available from the IDE (WebApplications, WebServices) you can still use them though.

• Put your DOS commands in .bat file in the main project directory
• Edit the csproj file
• Edit pre/postBuldEvent in the csproj file (VisualStudioProject\CSHARP\Build\Settings)
  • Example: PostBuildEvent = "..\myPostBuildEvent.bat"
• To get around "BuildEvent failed" errors in the build (i.e. ignore all dos errors) put Echo 0 (zero) at the end of your .bat file.
• Once you test your .bat file make sure to put a "cd .." at the top of it so it'll run in the right directory (since it's being launched from the bin directory)
