Create build scripts for large .NET solutions

[Guest]

Hello,
Could anyone help me find an example of how to make a build script?
We are several programmers, always someone new on the project that doesn't
quite know the dependencies between assamblies.
Do simplify I want to write and maintain a script that we could use to build
the solution.

Thanks!
kk

You can always use devenv.com in a batch file and use your solution file.

Or you can use nant which only requires the .NET Framework SDK installed on
the machine on which you are buillding your solution.

I'm sorry,
this didn't help me? What's that? A web service?

how about just adding a Macro and distribute to each workstation, that way
the developer can just click on it or assign hot key from VS.NET IDE.

I find NAnt to be the best build script thingy around.

Have a peek at: http://nant.sourceforge.net/

If you have more demands on your build/check in process you could also
use the tool "Final Builder" which is a very powerful extension to your
process, http://www.finalbuilder.com/finalbuilder/
