I have multiple variable settings in code and before every upload I would like VS to show a message containing configuration name("Debug" or "Release") and show an integer value from code's global variable.

like variable in code is like

int Number = 900023;

so the VS should show 900023 value in message dialog

Is there any way to do that or could this be added in future ?


using VS 2017

Sounds like you need to write a small .exe and add it as a custom arduino event/action. Your .exe can scan code files and show a dialog.

Alternaively add a breakpoint to the setup() that shows the {variable} and make the breakpoint stop/wait for F5. In this case you would need to upload.

Maybe you could also print a warning from inside your code using the #error type of messages

thats a good idea but when I set Pre-Built Event to
[code]ECHO "make changes"[/code]
nothing happens

inside Project Properties > Configuration Properties > Build Events > Pre-Built Event


There is no "custom arduino event/action"
