Tell me more ×  I work in a solution with many projects. Often,
I need to recompile and it takes a minute or two, so I tend to
switch to a web browser to kill that time. Sometimes I forget to
look back and the build succeeded a few minutes before I
noticed.  Is it possible to somehow get Visual Studio (just UI
version, not command line) to beep at me if the build (for the
project or solution) completes successfully without warning?
Also helpful would be a beep when the first breakpoint is hit
while debugging, since sometimes I have to wait a minute or two
for this to happen as well.  Do I need to write a macro for it,
perhaps? Are there hidden settings somewhere?  Thanks in
advance,  -an accidental procrastinator  share|improve this
