If you are quite happy with MSBuild, then I would stick with MSBuild. This may be one of those cases where the tool you learn first is the one you will prefer. I started with NAnt and can’t quite get used to MSBuild. I’m sure they will both be around for quite some time. There … Read more

We actually use a combination of NAnt and MSBuild with CruiseControl. NAnt is used for script flow control and calls MSBuild to compile projects. After the physical build is triggered, NAnt is used to publish the individual project build outputs to a shared location. I am not sure this is the best process. I think … Read more

NUnit 3’s way of logging during a test is via the TestContext class. It has a raft of static Write variants. Each emits general content to the test result. TestContext.Out yields a TextWriter that can also be used to emit logging information into test results.
I tried several alternatives TechWriter for Web Services: Really powerful, but HTML output was (see comments) multi-file. Also, comments indicate it is retired, but that is no longer the case. <oXygen/> XML Editor: It doesn’t process embedded schema.

Oddly enough, this is related to how the executables are extracted from the Nant 0.91 archive. (This made no sense to me until I actually tried it, but it does actually work…) Source : http://surfjungle.blogspot.com/2011/11/tip-running-nant-091-on-windows-7.html I found that the problem was Windows 7 security related in that the downloaded NAnt 0.91 zip file needed additional … Read more
