Tada, the Build Succeeeded! Adding Sound to Visual Studio

by brad 27. January 2009 10:53

Ever feel like Visual Studio doesn't get excited enough about successful builds?  Well, head to your Windows Control Panel and fix that problem.  Under "System Sounds" you'll find the sound scheme and as part of that, you'll find there are four Visual Studio hooks for sound goodness. 

You can add sound for breakpoints being hit, builds being cancelled, builds failing, and build succeeding.  I suggest "tada.wav" for successful builds.  And turn up your speakers so everyone else knows how often you succeed.
