Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi MSBuild, Web Deploy MSDeploy, ASP. NET. My book on MSBuild and Team Build. Archives and Categories. Monday, 1. 1 August 2. For the latest info here and for discussion please visit https github. I first developed Slow. Cheetah around VS2. FvLj2.png' alt='Install Nuget Package Visual Studio 2008' title='Install Nuget Package Visual Studio 2008' />SP2 with the idea that I could at some point transition this to the appropriate teams at Microsoft. Unfortunately I havent been able to do that, and the existence of this extension has actually worked against that goal. Im really happy that Slow. Cheetah has gotten the attention and success that it has, but now its time for me to move on. No support for Slow. Cheetah in VS 1. I am not planning to update Slow. Guidance on installing client tools, the commandline interface CLI, and the Package Manager for Visual Studio. Cheetah for Visual Studio 1. If you would like to see support for transforms in VS 1. I suggest you vote, and comment, on the uesrvoice item at http visualstudio. No new features. I will not be adding any features to Slow. Cheetah myself. If anyone wants to add any features I will try and help guide anyone who is interested. No fixes for regressions. If there are any scenarios that work in VS2. RTM that do not work in future version of Visual Studio then I will not be fixing them. I hope you all understand my situation here. I have spent countless hours working on Slow. Cheetah and there is very little ROI for me so, I need to move on to focus on other OSS projects that Im involved in. Thanks for all the love. I still love Slow. Cheetah too and Im sad to see there wont be support for transform in VS 1. Thanks, Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi http msbuildbook. Sayed. IHashimi. Friday, 1. October 2. 01. 3.

Waffle. Side. Waffle is a Visual Studio Extension which contains many different Visual Studio Item and Project Templates. This is a community effort and all open source at https github. You can create your own Item Templates and Project Templates and send a Pull Request for them to be included in the main repo. Check out the video below for more info on Side. Waffle. Side. Waffle intro video. Item Templates are used by VS developers to create files using the Add New Item dialog. Side. Waffle already contains a number of Item Templates such as Angular Controller, robots. Tools For Microsoft Office here. Signal. R Hub and Client, etc. For more info on how to create Item Templates with Side. Waffle watch the 4 minute video below. Project Templates are the items that show up in the Add New Project dialog. They provide a starting point for developers creating new projects. Side. Waffle already has a few project templates as well, such as a Google Chrome Extension. You can learn more about how to create Project Templates in this video. Now that weve gotten the intro out of the way, lets explore how you can create your own Side. Waffle. How to create your own Side. Waffle. The idea behind Side. Waffle is that we will have a shared VS extension for popular VS Item and Project Templates. Instead of contributing to the main Side. Dvd 800 Navi Software Update. Waffle project you may be interested in creating your own distribution that does not have the standard templates. For example, Ive heard from both the Orchard and Umbraco that they are interested in creating template packs for their communities. It wouldnt make much sense to include those templates in the main Side. Waffle project. Instead it would be best to create a separate distribution for each Orchard. Waffle and Umbraco. Waffle. So how can you do this Its pretty easy actually. Side. Waffle is built on top of a Nu. Get package, Template. Builder, which is also open source at https github. All the core functionality of Side. Waffle is contained in that Nu. Get package. To create your own Side. Waffle follow these steps If you dont have it already download and install the Visual Studio SDK, here is 2. Create a new Visual Studio Package project. From the package manager console execute Install Package Template. Builder pre. After you add the Template. Builder Nu. Get package a few things happen The build process of the project is modified to support building Item and Project templates. Your. vsixmanifest file is updated with two new Asset tags. An Item. Templates folder is created with a sample Item Template. From here on you can build the project and after installing the generated. You can add additional Item Templates, as well as create Project Templates in your project. Thats pretty much all there is to getting started with your own Waffle pack. Let me know if you have any issues or comments. Happy Waffleing Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi http msbuildbook. Sayed. IHashimi. Saturday, 2. September 2. 01. 3. When automating web publishing for Visual Studio projects in many cases your first step will be to create a publish profile for the project in VS. There are many cases in which you cannot, or would not like to do this. In this post Ill show you how you can take an existing project and use an MSBuild file to drive the publish process. In that Ill also show how you can extend the publish process without modifying either the project or any of its contents. Before we get too far into this, if you are not familiar with how to publish your VS web projects from the command line you can read our docs at ttp www. When you publish a project from the command line using a publish profile you typically use the syntax below. My. Project. csproj p Visual. Studio. Version1. Deploy. On. Buildtrue p Publish. Profilelt profile name or path. In this snippet we are passing in a handful of properties. Visual. Studio. Version dictates which version of MSBuild targets are used during the build. See http sedodream. Visual. Studio. Project. Compatability. And. Visual. Studio. Version. Deploy. On. Buildtrue injects the publish process at the end of build. Publish. Profile can either be the name of a publish profile which the project contains or it can be the full path to a publish profile. We will use Publish. Profile with that second option, the full path. So we need to pass in the full path to a publish profile, which typically is a. A publish profile is just an MSBuild file. When you pass in Publish. Profile and Deploy. On. Buildtrue, then the publish profile is Imported into the buildpublish process. It will supply the publish properties needed to perform the publish. Lets see how that works. I have a sample project, My. Site, which does not have any publish profiles created for it. I have created a publish profile, To. File. Sys. pubxml, in another folder that will be used though. The contents of that file are below. To. File. Sys. pubxmllt Project Tools. Version4. 0 xmlnshttp schemas. Property. Group. Web. Publish. Method File. Systemlt Web. Publish. Method. lt Exclude. AppData Falselt Exclude. AppData. lt publish. Url C tempPublish0. Url. lt Delete. Existing. Files Falselt Delete. Existing. Files. Property. Group. Project. This publish profile will publish to a local folder. I just created this file in VS with a different project and then just copied it to the folder that I needed, and removed properties which are only used for the inside of VS experience. We can publish the My. Site project using this profile with the command below. My. Site. csproj. Visual. Studio. Version1. Deploy. On. Buildtrue. Publish. ProfileC datamy codepublish samplespublish injectionbuildTo. File. Sys. pubxml. When you execute this the file specified in Publish. Profile will be included into the build process.
