This page enables you to specify custom build actions. To view output from custom build actions in the Visual Studio output window, you must insert a string, either “BUILDMSG:” or “MESSAGE:”, into the output at the beginning of the custom build actions. All output is saved in Build.log for reference, whether or not it contains these prefixes. For example, you can use the following command to prefix custom build output messages with the string "BUILDMSG:".

echo BUILDMSG:
