Can someone please point me to a reference about target hooks in MSBuild?
I’m looking for something that will let me define targets to run before and after a specified target. I know this can be done using the DependsOnTargets property but I’ve seen references to using target hooks and I’d like to explore that area.
Thanks,
Zain
A good list of built-in overridable build process hooks can be found here. For custom targets, the only thing I can think of is to use either the DependsOnTarget attribute (like you mentioned) or the BeforeTargets/AfterTargets attribute (like @Ritch Melton mentioned.) Be careful, the BeforeTargets/AfterTargets are only available in MSBuild 4.0
