.Net Jonesie - Team Build Resources

Tuesday, November 15, 2005

I've been trying to figure out how to extend my Team Build. I need to package the binaries and other files as well as update .config files and deploy the outputs ready for user testing. I've done this before with NAnt and Draco .Net but I'm finding it a lot harder to do this with MSBuild and Team Build - probably because there's a lot of new stuff to learn.

Here's a list of resources I've found so far. Some of these are from other peoples blogs as I haven't found 1 single source that has everything. I'll update this post as I find more. (* = Team Build Specific)

Blogs

MSBuild Team Blog

James,

You forgot the most important one :) The MSBuild team blog is at http://blogs.msdn.com/msbuild/, and has a ton of tips, tricks, insight, and links to additional information on how to extend build processes using MSBuild.
