is there a way in Visual Studio 2013 to automatically clean a project before building it?

I was thinking to add some code in the .csproj file in the following tag, that would automatically clean the solution before a build attempt:

  </ProjectExtensions>
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
      // Clean the project <------
</Target>
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
</Target>
</Project>

any ideas on how to achieve this?

Use Rebuild Solution rather than Build Solution. – Darren Jan 28 '15 at 19:45
