Add a msbuild task that runs after building a .NET Core project in Visual Studio 2017 RC

An alternative is to use the AfterTargets attribute on the Target. Something like:

<Target Name="TestTarget" AfterTargets="Build">
  <Message Importance="High" Text="This is a test" />
</Target>

I’m not sure why “AfterBuild” wouldn’t work any more, but this appears to be a conscious decision by the maintainers of MSBuild (h/t to Livven on pointing me to this github issue). “AfterBuild” was a special name that was used by the Build target. The current version of Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets still has it:

  <PropertyGroup>
    <BuildDependsOn>
      BeforeBuild;
      CoreBuild;
      AfterBuild
    </BuildDependsOn>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <Target
      Name="Build"
      Condition=" '$(_InvalidConfigurationWarning)' != 'true' "
      DependsOnTargets="$(BuildDependsOn)"
      Returns="$(TargetPath)" />
