RE: [Nant-users] NAnt build for vs.net web project best practice?

[Peter L. <pl...@ne...>]

It would seem to me from a maintenance standpoint that you should stick with
all developers just building in visual studio.  Why push 10 cars when you
can drive one bus?  Let VS.Net do the work when you are developing.   Then
create a build process on your master build machine that is tweaked to what
you need for testing/production.
With the new functionality of NAnt, you shouldn't have much difficulty
converting your SLN file into a buildable set of projects.  NAnt can do all
the work of extracting the SLN and project code from VSS and building it as
the SLN dictates.  Then you don't have to worry when changes are made to the
solution.  Depending on your projects and configurations, you can then set
up NAnt to "distribute" your web project to test/production servers.

Subject: [Nant-users] NAnt build for vs.net web project best practice?


Hi,



I'm using VSS as the source code repository, along with VS.NET for creating
my own soln and csproj files for the web app solution, using the c# and
asp*x files from VSS.



My question is what is the best method to build the project?  Converting sln
files to nant build files or just making an nant build file compiling all cs
files and copying necessary asp*x files?



Since we all have our own projects and sln files locally which use the files
from VSS, which would be the best method to do a "universal" build that each
developer that can perform locally?  I'm leaning towards the second
mentioned option.



Thanks in advance,

-          Noah
