I am literally new to these build scripts, can you give me an idea on how a script should be inorder to checkout the project from subversion and build it. and what if we should build the project on a remote server.. we use .net and MSBuild. It would be of great help if you could assist me.. ThankYou Rocky This is an awesome aricle, which could give me an idea on what a build script is..

MSBuild [web project.csproj] /T:Clean;Build;PipelinePreDeployCopyAllFilesToOneFolder /p:_PackageTempDir=[publish folder];Configuration=Release I lost days of my life looking for that one :( You can emulate the publish web project menu command by calling the built in ‘PipelinePreDeployCopyAllFilesToOneFolder’ target.

MSBuild [web project.csproj] /T:Clean;Build;PipelinePreDeployCopyAllFilesToOneFolder
/p:_PackageTempDir=[publish folder];Configuration=Release

I lost days of my life looking for that one :(

I figured it out.

Here’s the code to create and delete web sites in IIS. Please note that this works remotely, meaning I can create and delete web sites on a machine that’s not the TFSBuild machine (providing file system permissions is not an issue of course):
