After build events can be added to the property page of a visual studio project. You can also add your own “targets” file to the afterbuild (or beforebuild) in the project file itself. Use the following method:

1. Add a targets file to your project with the following contents (for example)
   [sourcecode language=”html”]
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
   <Project DefaultTargets="WSPBuild"
   xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003>
   <PropertyGroup>
   <WSPBuilderPath>"….ToolsWSPBuilder.exe"</WSPBuilderPath>
   </PropertyGroup>
   <Target Name="WSPBuild">
   <Exec Command="cd $(ProjectDir)" Outputs="null" />
   <Message Text="Executing WSP Builder in directory $(ProjectDir)"/>
   <Exec Command="$(WSPBuilderPath) "/>
   </Target>
   </Project>
   [/sourcecode]
2. Unload the project file
3. Right click the project file and choose Edit…..
4. Add an import tag below the last import tag in the projectfile:
   [sourcecode language=”html”]
   <Import Project="wspbuilder.Targets" />
   [/sourcecode]
5. Uncomment the AfterBuild tag and add the following statements; remember to specify the adjust CallTarget!
   [sourcecode language=”html”]
   <Target Name="AfterBuild">
   <CallTarget Targets="BuildSharePointPackage" />
   </Target>
   [/sourcecode]
