Is it possible to ask Visual Studio to play a sound after compiling?

Question

When the project is huge, the cost time for compiling can be several hours? Is it possible to ask Visual Studio to play some sound to alert me the compiling is done.

Answer 1

Add a custom build step that calls some command line audio player thingy.

Answer 2

There is in fact a hidden windows setting just for that. Here's an old link, and here's a current (windows 7) screenshot:

You get there via Control panel/Sound / sounds tab, and scroll down to 'Microsoft Visual Studio'.
