1) Can anyone tell me if NANT supports or will support Visual Studio
2005 solutions?
Specifically, I have several VS 2003 projects that I am currently
building with the NANT solution task, but my department wants to
convert to VS 2005 ASAP.
Although I'm just beginning to research this, I assume that when I
convert a project to VS 2005, the VS 2003 solution will be converted
to a 2005 solution format that is different from VS 2003's format, so
I wonder if the NANT solution task does or will support the new format.
It does not. However you can call msbuild.exe using the <exec> task [1]
to build 2005 solutions.
2) I understand that VS 2005 supports a new source control tool
(other than VSS), and I would like to know if NANT supports or plans
to support the new tool.
I assume you mean MS team system. There are not currently any NAnt tasks
that I'm aware of for this. However team system has a commandline client
[2]- tf.exe, so it should be easy enough to call out to it using <exec>
again. The command for syncing to a revision is :
*tf.exe get /version:C<##>*
Writing a task to wrap tf.exe would be fairly straightforward for
someone looking to make a contribution to NAnt. The Perforce and VSS
tasks in NAntContrib would be a good reference point. Alternatively
there is a client api - search on msdn for the
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client namespace.
