Postbuild in C#.net

I would like the following assistance with a post-build command event in a C#.net 2008 desktop application:
1. If a post-build command event does not work, can you tell me where I would see any error messages?
2. How would you debug a post-build command event just like the way it is suppose to run? Do you use some command line prompt? The only thing I can think of is to set the project file listed in the post-build command event to the startup project, rebuild and step through the code. However when I attempt to step through the code in 'debug' mode, the application does get get the 'debug' parameter.
3. I believe the post-build command event should run since it is set to run on successful build. When I build the project file that has the following command C:\Tracbuild.exe Debug , the entire solution rebuilds successfully with a few warnings.
4. I think the Tracbuild project did not execute since I do not see the output where the Tracbuild is suppose to place output files. Do you think I may need to look at some security settting? Maybe an output folder should be created. The following is most of the code in the Tracbuild project. Could you suggest what else I could be looking for?
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using EnrollTrac.Common;
namespace TracBuild
{
  class Program
  {
  static int Main(string[] args)
  {
 
  try
  {
  Console.WriteLine("Current Directory: " + Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
  try
  {
  Directory.Delete(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\output", true);
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
  Console.WriteLine("Warning while attempting delete on 'output' directory. " + ex.Message);
  }
 
  string ConfigurationName = args[0];
 
  File.Copy("App." + ConfigurationName + ".Config", "app.Exe.Config", true);
  //copy executables
  File.Copy("app.exe", "app2.Exe", true);
 
  foreach (string configfile in Directory.GetFiles(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "App.*.Config"))
  {
  File.Delete(configfile);
  }
  Console.WriteLine("Executing TracBuild for " + ConfigurationName);
 
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
  Console.Error.WriteLine(ex.Message);
  Console.Error.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace);
  return 1;
  }
  return 0;
  }
 
  }
