Hi Guys, I have been trying to find out if MSbuild can send an email to the developers just like NANT. I don't see any option in mSbuild.

+1  A: 

There is an email task in the MSbuild Community Tasks collection. This is a set of open source MSBuild tasks - lots of goodies there.

What do you mean? Perhaps this thread will help: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/msbuild/thread/fed4fad6-21a8-4b9b-abcb-04c2e1c56076

I was looking into that, tried the same thing. But mail option is not coming for me, as I wrote above.

@alice7 - are you looking for intellisense to come up? It will not come up automatically for the community tasks.

Oh thnx man, I was waiting for the intellisense to come up.

I know that this has already been answered, but if you install the power tools you get an alerts option in the Team Explorer.

That alerts has several TFS Based options to send emails (on fail, on succeed).
