	I want to use Visual Studio pre-build events to create a version string before each build. However when I follow the Visual Studio instructions my events never execute. Should they execute with Visual Micro?

	Hi, Please follow the arduino instructions for pre build events. One extra thing in visual micro is that you can use a board.txt in the current project to add the events. Of course you can also add them to the arduino recommended places which will work for all your projects. If you use board.txt then click Save for the board.txt before build. VS has a bug where auto save of .txt files happens after the build. If you use the arduino locations then click "Tools>Visual Micro>Reload tool chains" after making the external file changes or re-start the ide.
