Using TFS, want to run a command line tool to perform obfuscation

Question

Hi,

First time using team explorer, and I want to add a build task that will run a command line tool to obfuscate the assembly. This will one of the last tasks to be performed I assume.

How would I go about doing this using Team Explorer?

Answer 1

We use Xenocode Postbuild. To obfuscate, we use a custom build task we wrote in a DLL that we call from the build configuration in TFS.

So we created a custom task that wraps the PostBuild command-line. We pass that task variables from an MSBUILD target. That target is part of the project file associated with our release build definition.
