How to run a custom tool as part of the build

I've just installed a custom tool (actually ResourceClassGenerator from
http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/Re...sGenerator.asp) which is added
as a custom tool to a .resx file. However, it seems to be necessary to run it
manually by right-clicking the .resx file and selecting "run custom tool".
Surely there must be a way of making it run automatically as part of the
build. Anyone know?

Hi Dave,

Custom tools are executed every time when the file it is connected to
changes / is saved (in this case the resx file). So there is no need
imho for executing the custom tool again.

You're right. Sorry to waste your time. I was expecting it to run as part of
the build, I never even noticed that it runs every time I save.
