I'm trying to write a macro that runs on the BuildEvents_OnBuildDone
event and that backs up my VB.Net project when I do a release build.

Everything works fine, except it runs on both debug and release builds,
and I only want it to run on release builds.

Is there any way to differentiate between these?

You can get the build configuration name using:
DTE.Solution.SolutionBuild.ActiveConfiguration.Name

Thanks Peter!

I was thinking that maybe I should use the OnBuildProjConfigDone event
instead of the BuildDone event, but I couldn't find any useful
documentation on that event.

It _seems_ to fire for each build, just like BuildDone.

I think I'll stick with BuildDone now that I know how to get the
configuration name.
