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)

   <?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>
   

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:

   <Import Project="wspbuilder.Targets" />
   

5. Uncomment the AfterBuild tag and add the following statements; remember to specify the adjust CallTarget!

   <Target Name="AfterBuild">    
        <CallTarget Targets="BuildSharePointPackage" />
   </Target>
