12.4 Extending MSBuild Capabilities with MSBuild Community Tasks
MSBuild is a great addition to the build platform for Visual Studio. The MSBuild Community Tasks Project provides custom MSBuild tasks that extend the basic functionality provided in the MSBuild distribution, to help you deal with typical scenarios encountered when constructing automated builds for .NET 2.0 projects and solutions.
The MSBuild Community Tasks Project contains over 50 tasks that integrate with MSBuild. The tasks allow for the execution of common build activities, including the controlling of application pools, web directories, Windows services, common open source applications, versioning, and popular version-control systems.
Specific tasks in the project include:
