Isn't this a bit overhead, if you are using Visual Studio .NET (Which I assume since the origin of this thread mentioned project files)
I mean, you can perfectly script a build process if you are using VS.NET and Visual SourceSafe. And on top you could include some automated testing like using Nunit (Now there is a good link on http://nunit.sourceforge.net, or better at http://www.nunit.org) But I still have some problems with deployment of the web projects. I am not personally that keen on just using xcopy, so I use a web setup project to deploy the files. However it annoys me, that even MS has stated, that if you use the MSI install approach, you should be able to "upgrade" an existing solution by using the MSI package. Well I haven't succeeded with this so far, I still have to uninstall the previous web app, before upgrading to the new one. <Thomas/> > -----Original Message----- > From: Iain Smallwood [mailto:IainS@;tmcs.co.uk] > Sent: 1. november 2002 16:23 > To: dotnet > Subject: RE: automating builds > > > http://nant.sourceforge.net/ is the nant project's address, which is a > build tool if you are not aware of it.
