Tutorials for automated build scripts

[Guest]

Hello All,

I am looking for tutorials or pointers where I can get information on
building build scripts and automating them to build the solution from VSS.

Thanks

Hi Diffident:

There is actually a good flowchart on what steps the build script
should use in Figure 5.2 of this document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/tdlg_ch5.asp

My suggestion would be to use the VSS command line in the script:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/guides/html/vsgrfcmdline.asp

I've used the COM interfaces to make a script, but the COM interfaces
are quite quirky, especially from .NET code.

I'm no aware of anyone who has published a build script - I'd think
there would be some out there but a quick search didn't turn up any.
