Hello, Can anyone provide some insight as to the best way to support both a VS.NET IDE and an nAnt build environment?
Our developers need to use VS.NET to develop and test their components and I need some way to build and test the components in an automated environment. When setting up the nAnt build file, you need to know all component references. So you end up having to maintain both the VS.NET projects as well as the nAnt build files. When one changes, you have to make an identical change in the other. I'm concerned about the 2 getting out of synch over time. With java, the major IDE's integrated with ant. So you could use the IDE to develop, but you always build with ant. This way you only had to maintain one definition of the build environment. I've seen a couple attempts to parse the VS.NET solution and project files to extract the reference info. I've haven't had any success using these. I'm concerned these techniques are based on how the VS.NET solution and project files are structured - but there's no guarantee the structure of these files won't change over time, rendering older build incompatible. Thoughts?
