msbuild - How to start on MS-Build -

-

i wish start using ms-build. have lots of projects build manually (from visual studio) of now. want automate build process , preferably machine onto don't wish install visual studio. started reading ms-build on msdn. yet step step guidance start , how do. questions like:

  1. how can start ms-build? there download-able?
  2. what first step?
  3. how create ms-build script?

and lot similar questions. can guide me?

ms build comes .net framework , executable (msbuild.exe) located in .net-framework directory, (depending on version):

  • c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319
  • c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v3.5
  • c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727

(the right version in %path% when using "visual studio command prompt" start menu.)

msbuild files xml-files. can start making new text file, lets "c:\myscript.msbuild", , copy-paste file:

<project defaulttargets="mytarget" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">   <target name="mytarget">     <message text="hello world!" importance="high"/>   </target> </project>

then go command prompt , type:

c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe c:\myscript.msbuild

that start. :)

then can customize targets , properties. second example:

<project defaulttargets="all" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">   <propertygroup condition="'$(mycondition)' == 'x'" >     <myproperty>world2</myproperty>   </propertygroup>   <target name="mytarget">     <message text="hello" importance="high"/>     <message text="$(myproperty)" importance="high"/>   </target>   <target name="mytarget2">   </target>   <target name="all">      <calltarget targets="mytarget" />      <calltarget targets="mytarget2" />   </target> </project>

c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe c:\myscript.msbuild /target:mytarget /property:mycondition=x

you can have build files inside build-files.

<project defaulttargets="mytarget" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">   <import project="myexternalproperties.msbuild"/>   <target name="mytarget">     <exec command="echo hello world 3"/>   </target> </project>
