There must be something obvious I am missing, but I cannot find a way

  • 0

There must be something obvious I am missing, but I cannot find a way to define pre and post build events for lightswitch projects. Normally, you go to the project properties screen and see a “build events” tab and access the pre and post build event command lines.

When I go into the properties for the root lightswitch node in my solution explorer, I do not see build events there, and the same is true if I go into the properties for Client, Common or Server.

Can someone clarify what is the issue here?

Thanks,

Jaspreet

    Apparently, Visual Studio 2012 does not support pre and post build events for Lightswitch projects, at least not directly from the project properties. I asked the same question on Lightswitch forums and as recommended by Yann, I have made a User Voice suggestion. You can vote on it if you care about this feature.
