Cruise Control
Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 04:36 PM - .NET, C#, NUnit
I have been playing with Team Foundation Server from Microsoft, and took the opportunity to do some research on the similar technologies for non-MS platforms. CruiseControl.net is a continuous integration product, and this article provides a nice introduction. Another nice article gives a nice ramp-up description.

I found this the other day while researching a way to deploy my c# web apps to a client machine. It's the cassini web server from UltiDev, compiled as a web service, with built-in web management and configuration.

MSBuild - Changing References
Thursday, June 14, 2007, 05:49 PM - .NET, C#, CodeSmith
I had a need recently to build a project against a changing set of references. I have a CodeSmith AddIn for a set of templates that I maintain, and they reference the CodeSmith.Engine.dll and SchemaExplorer.dll. I need to compile this AddIn against both version 3.2 and 4.0 (as well as potentially others) of the CodeSmith dll's. Using MSBuild, I was able to set a reference path for the dll's, and an alternate output path for each of these dll's, like this:

msbuild.exe CodeSmith_NHibernate.csproj
/property:Configuration=Release;
ReferencePath=References\CodeSmith\3.2\;
OutDir=CodeSmith_AddIn\v3.2\
/target:Rebuild

It works like a champ, references the correct 3.2 dll's, and provides me with the output I need!
