I have found the custom build action function very useful/powerful and have used it to great effect in my projects, however I too find it frustrating that there is no single reference (tutorial) listing all available methods, parameters, syntax, etc. and you have to aggregate various nuggets of information resulting from multiple searches.
The #CustomBuildAction attribute allows running external programs during the compilation process. The syntax is: #CustomBuildAction , command to run, zero or more arguments It is related to the comment links and #Macro features...
