This related question has the answer you need, with examples

"to figure out when a successful build has finished, you need to use a combination of the two build events:

OnBuildProjConfigDone and OnBuildDone"

In addition, you can also use

to check if the solution has changed since last successful build.

You should assume that on open, a solution needs to be built.

Nope. `Solution4.Saved` is never `true`, have no idea why - whether I change any `*.cs` file without saving it, or change and then save it - it just doesn't change. Same thing with every `EnvDTE.Project` object in my solution: `EnvDTE.Project.Saved` is always `true`, no matter what I do, and `EnvDTE.Project.IsDirty` is always `false`, again, whatever I try. Any idea? – Tar Sep 02 '14 at 14:48
