Agenda

• What is Daily Build Why Daily builds are so
  important to your project
  
• How Msbuild makes the build process simple and
  easy to do
  
• How Team Foundation Server makes Automatic Daily
  builds trivial
  
• How to start doing daily build tomorrow

3
The problems with Builds

• Build is not just compilation
• all configurations, Setup, Deployment, testing
  etc.
  
• How Often do you Build Today
• Its the problem of the integrator
• Every 2 months, 2 weeks, 2 days ?
• Every 10 minuets ? !
• How do you build integrate today ?
• Why integration is so painful
• If Dayli Build is so good, why most of us dont
  do it ?
  
• Complicated, costs

4
What Is MSBuild

• An Engine
• Execute Tasks
• Based on XML file
• Have all the programming language elements you
  expect
  
• Built-in in the .NET 2.0 framework
• Not part of VS !!
• The building blocks of TFS automated build

5
MSBuild Is Simple Powerful
6
Demo Debrief

• MSBuild xml is the VS project file
• Built in Support to edit inside VS
• MSBuild can call MSBuild

Partial List of Built In Tasks

• Compilation Oriented tasks
• AL (Assembly Linker) , Csc (C), Vbc (VB),
  VCBuild (VC), ResGen, GenerateResource (RC)
  
• File Management Tasks
• Copy, Delete, MakeDir, RemoveDir, Touch (files)
• Build Process Utilities
• CreateItem, CreateProperty, FindUnderPath,
  ReadLinesFromFile (ItemList from file),
  WriteLinesToFile
  
• Deployment related tasks
• RegisterAssembly, UnregisterAssembly, SignFile

10
If you need non build in taskThe system is
extensible

• The EXEC task
• Microsoft.Sdc.Tasks
• What can you do with Sdc
• Build your Own task
• MSBuild is just a task processor

11
Task Extensibility
12
Task Is too low level

• You can group complete logic into reusable unit
• The reusable unit is target
• You can import (include) targets
• You work in big units not in tasks

13
Partial List of Built In Targets

• Normal Framework Targets
• Microsoft.Common.targets
• Microsoft.CSharp.targets
• Microsoft.VisualBasic.targets
• Microsoft.VisualJSharp.targets
• SQLServer.targets
• CompactFramework targets
• Microsoft.CompactFramework.Common.targets
• Microsoft.CompactFramework.CSharp.targets
• Microsoft.CompactFramework.CSharp.v1.targets
• Microsoft.CompactFramework.VisualBasic.targets
• Microsoft.CompactFramework.VisualBasic.v1.targets

14
Target as Encapsulated block
15
The MSBuild Language

• Operators tasks
• Variables Properties, Items, Scalars
• Logic Condition
• Subroutines Targets

Dogfooding Developer Tools Within Microsoft

• More then 80 of DevDiv code (.NET Framework
  Visual Studio) now builds every day in the build
  lab using MSBuild and TeamBuild!
  
• Single project file for command-line and Visual
  Studio IDE builds
  
• Full IDE development experience, including
  intellisense, refactoring, designers, etc.

you can do this too!
21
So Why Daily builds are important

• Iteration Working Product Delta
• Fast Iteration Cycle Benefits
• You never go dark
• You have a working Product every day
• You Minimize integration time
• Get to a known state and stay there
• You Can do it today using MSBuild today
• Daily Builds - the heart beat of the project

22
Summery

• Think Daily Builds
• Plan for Daily Build
• Implement Daily Builds now !
