I wrote a powershell script that associates a workflow with a site and I want to call it in the post-build event of the workflow project in visual studio.
How do I get the "Site URL" field in the project properties to use as a macro variable in the post-build event?
You can use the $(SharePointSiteUrl) variable in the post-build event. $(SharePointSiteUrl)is an extra variable that is available for SharePoint projects.
$(SharePointSiteUrl) is the URL you’ve selected in the properties of the SharePoint project.
$(TargetDir)$(TargetName).wsp is the name of the solution package file.
For flexibility, instead of using hard-coded strings in the Pre-deployment Command Line and Post-deployment Command Line boxes on the SharePoint Properties page, you can use the SharePoint properties as arguments. For example, instead of specifying a specific URL string for the SharePoint site, you can instead use $(SharePointSiteUrl).
