  What do you think?

  Please advise.

  Hi,

  As far as I know, there is a bit different from VS 2010, you can't modify publish settings in VS2008.

  And you can try to use web deployment project:

  I'm looking for ward for your reply.

  I am already using a Web Deployment Project.

  Unfortunately, in VisualStudio 2008 Standard, there are no properties for Build Events in a Web Deployment Project.

  I have 2 projects in my Solution-- (1) A Web Application Project and (2) A Web Deployment Project.

  I need to write build event logic that runs after the Web Deployment Project builds; but, I cannot find a way to do that right now.
  

  I am wondering-- is there a way to workaround this situation?

  Please advise.

  Thank you.

  Hi,

  You can directly add tasks in WDP. You can open WDP file by right click project -> Open project file.

  In the project file you can find <Target Name="AfterBuild"> node, and you can add tasks in it.

  For more about MSBuild task:

  I'm looking forward for your test result.
