Publish web project from the build event of another project

I have a solution that has two projects: 1. web project 2. dll project. At its post event, a powershell runs to move, copy and delete the web project files/folders.

When my solution builds, it starts by building the web project and then the dll project.

I want create a pre-build event at the dll project that publishes the web project, is this possible!? how? I don't mind using powershell or command prompt.

Thank you!
