3.2.7.2 Build Events
The Build events tab contains a list of scheduled events for each configuration, launched by the pre-build and post-build scripts. These events can be added, deleted, or modified by clicking either the Edit pre-build... or Edit post-build... buttons. Upon clicking these buttons, you should manually add your commands in the following dialog. As of the current release, it is possible to use environment variables and values declared within them as a link to other available applications. To use that function, press the Show Macros button.
Macros
Expands the edit box to display the list of macros/environment variables to add in the command-line edit box.
Macro Table
List the available macros/environment variables and their value. You can select only one macro at a time to insert into the command-line edit box. MSBuild also provides a set of reserved properties that store information about the project file and the MSBuild binaries. These properties may also be listed in the edit box.
