Test the Build and Post-build Commands

Note: These steps assume you have completed steps in Create a Single Machine Development Environment, Create a Custom Parts Project, Add a Custom Part to a Parts Project, and Adjust the Post-build Events.

  1. Open the Parts project.

    Note: Ensure Visual Studio is open with Administrator rights. The BBIS installation folders are probably protected.

  2. Right-click the project and select Build. A successful build should look like this in the Output window:

    ------ Build started: Project: PartsProjectExample, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
  PartsProjectExample -> C:\Users\TomTr\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\PartsProjectExample\PartsProjectExample\bin\PartsProjectExample.dll
  C:\Users\TomTr\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\PartsProjectExample\PartsProjectExample\PartExampleDisplay.ascx
  C:\Users\TomTr\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\PartsProjectExample\PartsProjectExample\PartExampleEditor.ascx
  2 File(s) copied
  C:\Users\TomTr\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\PartsProjectExample\PartsProjectExample\bin\PartsProjectExample.dll
  C:\Users\TomTr\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\PartsProjectExample\PartsProjectExample\bin\PartsProjectExample.pdb
  C:\Users\TomTr\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\PartsProjectExample\PartsProjectExample\bin\PartsProjectExample.xml
  3 File(s) copied
========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

    Without Administrator rights, the output will look something like this:

    ------ Build started: Project: PartsProjectExample, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
  PartsProjectExample -> C:\Users\TomTr\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\PartsProjectExample\PartsProjectExample\bin\PartsProjectExample.dll

  3. Browse to the files in Windows Explorer.
