Hi all

I' am looking for a system that can perform builds of my .NET projects based
on files stored in VSS.

I'm currently using Nant which is a XML based commandline tool, but I think
it is lacking a bit in user frienlyness.



Does anyone know of such a system (Preferably GUI based), which does not
cost a fortune, and is easy to use?



Thanks in advance

There was a free program called BuildIt that I got from the GotDotNet
community a year or so ago. It had a fairly nice internal layout so I used
it as a base and I have since modified it extensively. It uses the DevStudio
automation interface for driving the builds, which I like a lot because it
handles all the dependencies automatically - I don't have to keep
complicated makefiles up to date. It supports VSS for its source control
system, and I've added ClearCase support to my own version. You should be
able to google up a location for it.

There's a new build system called MSBuild that I've heard a lot of good
things about but which I have not yet tried myself.

I really like FinalBuilder - excellent tool, excellent support, works
very well and is very flexible in any way you could possibly ask for.
Natively and directly supports VSS and .NET (and many more):

Highly recommended.
