Hi Tero.

 

I use NAnt because it does so much more than just build assemblies – my build 
scripts have included generation of documentation, rebuilds of databases, 
compilation of MSI packages, archival of builds to network directories and more.

 

FWIW, I use <exec> to invoke MSBuild to do the actual compilation step (meaning 
that VS maintains that build script) and use NAnt for the wider issues.

 

Hope this helps,

Bevan.

Subject: [NAnt-users] Why NAnt over VS Studio builds?

 


As a NAnt noob I have some fundamental questions. The VS Studio build system 
has worked fine for me for years, even with solutions that have a few dozen sub 
projects. Is there something that NAnt can do for me that would make my life 
considerably easier? What convinced you to start using it?

Thanks.
