What is the best way to pass variables from Visual studio build definition to powershell running in post build section.
I have a build running in visual studio 2013. I have in the post build section running a powershell script and i want it to be able to see the drop location also maybe even the bin directory. Since each build creates a new dynamic directory how does that variable that is used in the build get exposed to powershell post build/ compile?

There are a lot of predefined variables you can provide as argument - did you take a look thru the drop-down list? You can use the vars as positional or named parameters, Whatever you prefer, in PowerShell.

Visual studio build has variables that are available during build time.
