UPDATE: seems like in VS 2019 and .NET 5 you can now use Publish target. <Target Name=”Test” AfterTargets=”Publish”> <Exec Command=”blablabla” /> </Target> Here’s my old answer that also works: MS has confirmed, that when publishing to file system they don’t have any target to launch after that. “We currently do not support executing custom targets … Read more
It depends on how you define before but below is one technique. When you create a publish profile with VS2012 it will create you a .pubxml file in the Properties\PublishProfiles folder (My Project\PublishProfiles for VB). These are MSBuild files and you can edit them to customize the publish process. In your case you can inject … Read more
I know this is old but since I found a solution after looking here I thought I should provide an answer.

This is only a one-time thing though, for future updates, the availability will be immediate on the internal test track. Once the app is available, you’ll also need to follow the … Read more
Note: The following applies to VS2010 and publishing web-application projects with the “Web Deploy” publish method selected in the ‘Build/Publish {projectname}’ dialog. Julien Hoarau’s correct in that “Publish” is NOT the name of the msbuild target invoked in the above case; the actual target name is “MSDeployPublish”. Therefore, you have to define a “Target” element … Read more
