Can I get the default template to not require items to build?

The Items to build being added as a requirement in the default template appears to be doing so in the editor for Activities.BuildSettings? since I don't see it anywhere in the xaml. Or perhaps I could do something in the metadata collection to override the se开发者_开发百科tting?

I want to run a custom task whether or not there is something being built with msbuild. What are my options?

Add a dummy project for TFS to build.

You can specify a targets file in the items to build. This targets file is using the msbuild syntax. In there you can specify what you want.
