With the original 0.86 beta 1 release, there was a small problem with folks who only had VS 2008 installed because there was a dependency on a registry key that was installed with the .Net 2.0 SDK (or VS 2005...

I'll be attending the AltNetConf . Convenient for me that it's in Austin, TX. It's an open space conference, and I consider it the founding conference of a conversation that is "Alt.Net". I'll be proposing the topic: What are the Alt.Net principles? . The definition of Alt.Net...

I have printed out and posted the graphic from Plip's blog: http://weblogs.asp.net/plip/archive/2006/11/16/who-broke-the-build.aspx

I find it very frustrating that there is no obvious way to have the .resx generator mark members as public instead of internal. In my team's solution, we have a need for these to be public. Here's how I solved it: Add a nant target that can do a find/replace in a file (I don't know of a shell...

Our automated build process is complete (I've been b logging about the process over the past several weeks). I thought I'd take a minute to blog a few of the bits I learned along the way. For a short history, I started the build process with NAnt to create our database script build and came across the...

I've been blogging about using NAnt in my spare time to get software builds fully automated at work. I ran into a product today that changed my approach. Today I ran into Mike Gunderloy's posting that Visual Build Professional 5.6 is available and downloaded it. The package comes with 50-free uses as...

As I'm working on my NAnt implementation, I came across Eric Desch's article published on the 4 Guys From Rolla site titled “ A Brief Introduction to NAnt ”. He does a very nice job of providing an introduction to NAnt along with a rundown on how to get the software running. He discusses...

My next step in refining our build process is incorporating the database upgrade script into our msi distribution. I've got the code that selects 1..n servers/databases and performs the upgrade. Next, I need to create a build function that encrypts and compiles the script into a resource file for the...

I had a couple of requests for the code I used to build my sql script on the fly in conjunction with NAntContrib (blogged about it here ). Before I show the code, my next refactoring would include (1) creating a ProcessState interface and generating seperate ProcessState classes for NAnt and MultiThreaded...

I finished the process of performing my database build using NAnt (actually NAntContrib). I dusted off an old class library I used with a .Net plug-in I built for automating the database build and modified it so it could handle the NAnt.Core.Project object for floating messages, warnings and errors....
