Visual Studio 2012: How to perform a conditional post-build event

Question

How do I perform a conditional post-build event? Specifically, I would like to only execute the post-build event command line for the debug release but not for the release build.

I did not see any way in a project's properties' Build Event page.

You just need to do some checking against the $ConfigurationName property.

This SO post has lots of examples:
