Visual studio 2010 run post build events based on debug or release mode

Using a batch file that should be run after post build is a common task. But some actions are not required in debug mode and some times in release mode.

To achieve this create 2 batch files
1. debugpostbuild.bat
2. releasepostbuild.bat

Update post-build event command line as follows:-
1. goto VS2010 -> right click on your project -> properties -> Build Events
2. copy below code

if $(ConfigurationName) == Release (
call $(SolutionDir)\debugpostbuild.bat
)
else (
call $(SolutionDir)\releasepostbuild.bat
)

That's it. so simple.
