Nightly Builds - Visual Basic .NET

Brian Henry

Is it possibly to set up a process on our development server to create
nightly builds of our application? All our code is saved in a Source Safe
database and is a VB.NET solution.

You could just use task scheduler and a batch file...

vbc.exe is the visual basic compiler.. you'll have to do a little extra work
in the batch to get it to work, but then you should have no problem running
it whenever you want.

yes, but the source is in a VSS database, it's not just your standard source
listing like a normal on hard drive source would be... it's a little more
complex then just using a batch file... at least from how I am looking at it
in a source safe database...

Source safe has a command-line app you can use to check out the
project to a local folder so it's then available for compilation.
Default location:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\ss.exe

You might want to check into NANT.

http://nant.sourceforge.net/

It was recently featured in MSDN magazine as one of the top 10 tools
..NET developers should have:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...MustHaveTools/

And yes, there is a task for NANT to interact with VSS.
