In Visual Studio 2012 (C#) How to Create Custom Ma

问题:

I want to add in a Post-build event commandline in my Visual Studio 2012 C# project.

I have a number of projects in my solution and I would like to add to the list of macros available with "Macros>>".

How can I achieve this?

For instance I have the command line:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\signtool.exe" sign /f MYPFXFILEPATH /p MYPASSWORD /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll $(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)

I would hate to copy and paste that into every project. I would like to place the first part into a macro so that I would have:

$(SignCommandLinePrefix) $(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)

回答1:

Though you won't see your macro in the Macros>> list, you can edit your .csproj file by hand. Look for the first <PropertyGroup> and add this right before the closing </PropertyGroup>:

<SignCommandLinePrefix>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\signtool.exe" sign /f MYPFXFILEPATH /p MYPASSWORD /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll</SignCommandLinePrefix>

Now, you can add $(SignCommandLinePrefix) $(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName) to your Post-Build Event and it will work just as you wish.
