MSBuild: Custom.After.Microsoft.Common.targets for native C ++ projects in VS2010

I read about using "Custom.Before.Microsoft.Common.targets" and "Custom.After.Microsoft.Common.targets" to fulfill a custom goal before / after each project build, and I would like to use this technique to change information about version when building TeamCity builds on our server.

The problem is that although it works for C # projects, it doesn't seem to work for native C ++ projects.

After some searching in the Microsoft.Cpp.targets file, I found out that for my own C ++ projects, this seems to be implemented by setting $ (ForceImportBeforeCppTargets) and $ (ForceImportAfterCppTargets).

I cannot find any information on the Internet about this technique for native C ++ applications, although I ask if I am looking in the right direction or not.

Any help is appreciated.

For VC ++ projects, this is slightly different. You define a file to be imported either at the beginning or at the end of the project. To use this approach, you need to define values ​​for the ForceImportBeforeCppTargetsor properties ForceImportAfterCppTargets. For example, if you want the file to be included at the beginning of the project, you can pass the value on the command line. For example, I just created a dummy VC ++ project called CppTets01. Then I created two example files below.

Before.proj

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">


  <Target Name="CustomTargetInBefore" AfterTargets="Build">
    <Message Text="From CustomTargetInBefore" Importance="high"/>
  </Target>

</Project>

After.proj

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">

  <Target Name="CustomTargetInAfter" AfterTargets="Build">
    <Message Text="From CustomTargetInAfter" Importance="high"/>
  </Target>

</Project>

:

msbuild CppTest01.vcxproj 
    /p:ForceImportBeforeCppTargets="C:\Temp\_NET\ThrowAway\CppTest01\CppTest01\Before.proj";
    ForceImportAfterCppTargets="C:\Temp\_NET\ThrowAway\CppTest01\CppTest01\After.proj"
