How to

The vsCommandEvent may work with commands from VS, so you can catch command when started the Build or Rebuild, Clean etc. for all solution as for all projects at once or similar…

However, it cannot be same for vsSolutionBuildEvent, because he work on another technologies.

Here, you will know more about how to work with commands, and for this case you should configure EnvDTE tab, for example:

Description Guid Id in out
Started - Build Solution {5EFC7975-14BC-11CF-9B2B-00AA00573819} 882    
Started - Rebuild Solution {5EFC7975-14BC-11CF-9B2B-00AA00573819} 883    
Started - Clean Solution {5EFC7975-14BC-11CF-9B2B-00AA00573819} 885    

You can also suppress all this operations, for example, allowing the Build operation only for some cases (with SBE-Scripts, C# Mode) etc.
