MSBuild Zip tasks

[Shikhar]

Hi All,

I am new to VSTS and MS Build.
I want to do a Zip (As in NANT) in MSBUILD proj file.

Can anyone please help me in this.

Also i want to create labels in Team Foundation Server (for all build
files) before building it.

Thanks.

Regards,
Shikhar

Shikhar,

You can get a Zip task from the MSBuild Community Tasks project, located
at:

http://msbuildtasks.tigris.org/

You can also build custom tasks for MSBUILD. This is most likely what
you will have to do in order to create labels in Team Foundation Server.
For more information, check out the section of the MSDN documentation titled
"How To: Write a Task", located at:

Hope this helps.
