hi,
this is awesome project, thank you very much, but is there a way to run the commands automatically on project or solution build ?

thanks in advanced,

Using the pre-build and post-build events as available in Visual Studio doesnt work for you?

@devmondo
sure you mean adding this to build events
"grunt --base=$(ProjectDir) --gruntfile=grunt\gruntfile.js --verbose --configuration=$(Configuration)"

The way you suggest, Indeed is quite cumbersome. One could choose to put it in a script file which you simply call. Would it help if we could generate such batch files from the vscb files?
That way you would have only one place to define the commands (in the vscb files) as long as VsCommandBuddy would keep the batch files up to date. Maybe add an 'export commands to scripts' function? Or as a side effect of the refresh function?

This way it could be helpfull for more usecases ...

it would work for project types which dont have pre or post build events (websites)
all commands are available for the commandline oriented developers
if we export both bat and .sh files, the commands would work on unix/mac as well.
Let me know what you think about this.
