Pack nuspec file during build in Visual Studio

I have a VS2017 solution with multiple projects that generates a cross-platform nuget-package. The package is generated by running nuget pack on my specific nuspec file. I would like to automatically performs this action during Visual Studio build instead of doing it manually each time. Is this possible?

Pack nuspec file during build in Visual Studio. Is this possible?

The answer is yes. You can simple add a pro-build or post-build event (Project->properties->Build Events) to generate nuget package with below command line:

nuget.exe pack "$(ThePathOfYour .nuspec)\TestPackNupsec.csproj.nuspec"

Note: You should add the nuget.exe as a system variable, so that you can use it anywhere without specifying the specific path of nuget, or you need specify the full path of nuget in that command line, like:

C:\Users\<UserName>\nuget.exe

With this command line in the build-event, we could generate Pack nuspec file during build in Visual Studio:
