Hi, i need to create event after using command "Rebuild Solution", i need to update my extension in path: wwwroot/web/extension and now i using .bat file for this. But i so lazy and want that my .bat file starts after command "Rebuild Solution".

And i want to ask you, how to add configuration, which will be rebuilding my solution and start my bat file?
I don't want two clicks on button, if i can use one button :))

And how do I add the configuration that I attach to the process? I don't want to find my own process every time

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for contacting Rider support.

Would you mind trying the following solutions?

Configure the [post-build](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/rider/Project_Properties.html#build-events) event in project properties. Your script will be executed every time you build a project/solution. Also, you can configure this event in .csproj:

<Target Name="PostBuild" AfterTargets="PostBuildEvent">
      <Exec Command="exec {PathToScript}" />
</Target>

Create a separate Run Configuration for your startup project and adjust the [Before launch](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/rider/Run_Debug_Configuration_dotNet_Launch_Settings_Profile.html#before-launch-options) steps. If you don't want to run exactly your startup project, you might create a console application project (That does nothing) in your solution and configure these *Before Launch* steps in its run configuration. (see the screenshot)

Hope it helps. Should you encounter any difficulties or have any other questions, please let me know.
Have a nice day!
