I've currently got CC.Net setup for doing builds and it's awesome. But now I want to go all the way and use it for deployment as well. I was thinking about installing CC.Net on staging and after a build completes and it's autouploaded fire the forcebuild trigger to staging and have it use msbuild and the necessary extensions to gac, in...
I wrote a Nant script that executes MSBUILD.exe to compile a project on my dev machine. On my dev machine, the projects builds its output to bin\x86\Release and my Nant script zips up the contents of that directory. I then commit everything to SVN and let TeamCity run the Nant script that executes MSBUILD.exe to compile the project and z...

all of the projects in my solution have an output path of "..\Release" for Release builds and "..\Debug" for Debug builds. All of the projects works fine except for one. Whenever I build the problematic project in Release the dll that gets copied to "..\Release" comes from "obj\Debug" instead of "obj\Release". This happens both in VS ...
Three VS Solutions. First is configured to build as Release, and the other two set to build as Debug. When running a simple MSBuild script explicitly stating the configuration to build (Debug) the first project is still built as Release. Sample script: <Target Name="Build"> <ItemGroup> <ProjectToBuild Include="$(Solution...
I've noticed a lot of sites, including stack overflow append ?v=36556 to their static file path to force the browser to re fetch the new version. On the stack overflow podcast it was mentioned they do this as part of the build process. I'm just wondering if there is any existing msbuild tasks or utilities for doing this? Or should I j...

I have a project that uses log4net and works fine on the developer machines. When we build, a step in our build scripts calls the AssemblyInfo task to set version numbers and dates, etc. But the AssemblyInfo file also loses the line: [assembly: XmlConfigurator(Watch = true)] Is there any way to have the AssemblyInfo task not overwri...

We use msbuild to build our .NET application on a server dedicated to builds. We are migrating to new hardware which has 64 bit Windows 2003. I can build the application using the 64 bit version of msbuild found in Framework64 or I can build it using the 32 bit verison found in Framework. Is there any advantage to building with the 64...

I'm thinking it would be convenient to alert interested parties to the completion of the build process via an Atom or RSS feed. I'm guessing someone somewhere has taken the time to do this, but...maybe your google-fu is better than mine, but this turns out to be a hard thing to search for. ...
I'm pretty new with TeamCity but have 2-3 years experience with CC.NET-t. I'm familiar with MSBuild but maybe TeamCity has other ways to build things. I see that TeamCity has a nice UI and great plug-in framework. But I have no idea how can I configure an installer package build. My questions: I've checked out the source and built th...
With web sites in VS2008 (the ones without .csproj files), a build does a kind of validation where the site is 'compiled' to nowhere, and web site dependencies are copied into the web site's Bin directory. I want to do this exact process but at the command-line using msbuild. That is, I want an msbuild task that my msbuild target can...

I'm looking for a resource to list all the built-in properties defined in an MSBuild project file. Specifically I'm using a Team Build project file, but from what I understand they are one in the same (correct me if I'm wrong).
