I also use a BeforeBuild target in the one case where we harvest. It works fine under VS 2013 and I have had no particular issues with it.

He thought there was something in the VS 2013 interface that allowed him to specify the files to harvest. Unfortunately he cannot remember what project he was doing this on and we are unable to find the project to see if it is actually possible. I have Google searched for this functionality but cannot find anything. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how do we do it?
