My questions are: Where are these two targets...

We have what I think is a fairly standard build process: 1. Developer: Check in code 2. Build: Polls repo, sees change, and kicks off build that: 3. Build: Updates from repo, Builds w/ MSBuild, Runs unit tests w/ nunit, 4. Build: creates installer package Our security team allows us to pull from the build server, but does not allow the...

Just what the title says. Given a build file (.csproj or msbuild.xml or whatever), I'd like to run a msbuild command that lists all the available, defined targets. Does that function exist? I know I could do an Xpath search or something, on the build file, but that wouldn't find targets that are defined in included files. ...

I do the builds (which occur locally using TeamCity AFAIK), but would like the code to be pushed up to our testing server once the build is completed. I am using IIS 6.x (Windows XP dev and Windows 2k3 Server for testing). ...

We have a main web application that references several other projects. Do you check-in .csproj/.sln files into source control? If so, do you use these files for msbuild or do you just include *.cs to build your dll? Does ILMerge help in any way with performance? ...
