have you tried running `dotnet publish` as a `postcompile` script? — Pawel, Sep 01 '16 at 05:10
I don't know what it means exactly... - is there an error or what? (as a side note - I am not quite sure why you would even want to publish on build...) — Pawel, Sep 01 '16 at 05:16
@Pawel I test it:dotnet publish --framework netcoreapp1.0 --output "c:\temp\Api" --configuration Release but not working.i also try to running bat file but not work again. — , Sep 01 '16 at 05:17
again "not working" is very vague. Can it be that you build Debug but try to publish Release or you build net461 and publish netcoreapp1.0? — Pawel, Sep 01 '16 at 05:19

Add the --no-build parameter to dotnet publish in your post-build event. By default, dotnet publish will run a build, which will trigger post-build events, which will then try to publish again, which will cause an infinite loop that appears to make the build hang.
