No requires additional steps for you, just build as you need.

Use build.bat if you need final NuGet package as a DllExport.<version>.nupkg etc.

• You do not need to do anything inside IDE if you have installed this plugin.

How to Debug

For example, find the DllExport.MSBuild project in solution:

• Properties > Debug:
  • Start Action: set as Start External program
    • Add full path to msbuild.exe, for example: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe
  • Start Options > Command line arguments write for example:

"<path_to_SolutionFile_for_debugging>.sln" /t:Build /p:Configuration=<Configuration>

use additional Diagnostic key to msbuild if you need details from .targets

"<path_to_SolutionFile_for_debugging>.sln" /verbosity:Diagnostic /t:Rebuild /p:Configuration=<Configuration>

Go to Start Debugging. Now you can debug at runtime.
