Brief

Start a new .NET Project by Using Nant, So We can make Daily Building. All Have to do list Below:

1.Install .NET SDK1.0 AND New Version Nant, And make Nant Works.

2. Copy Directories and Files from Nproject (n for .NET) Template Library.

3. Make Project Files Stay in The Right Directory.

4.EDit the project.build file. Let it fit the project.

5.Run nant.

System Requirement

.NET SDK1.0 or HIGHER

Nant 0.84 or Higher

Directories and Files

You can make Directories yourself, or copy from template. But make Sure The Directory Tree Like this:

Every Directory Is Made for a Certain Kind of Files. Directory Names and What Kind of Files Should Be Put in List Below:

Directory Files SHOULD BE PUT IN

Build Building Files

Data Project's data files

DOC Project's Documents for Installation and Deploying

LIB Libraries Project Depending ON

RES Resources Project Using

Install Resources for Installation

SRC Project 'Source Files

Config Project's Configuration FILES

Database Project's Database Files

CS Project's C # Source Code Files

DOCS Project's Documents for Manager, Developer, Tester

Scripts Project's script files

SQL Project's Script Files for Database

Now put the .NET Files INTO The / SRC / CS Directory.

The Build File

The build file is /build/project.build. In the template we already have a default build file. Because every project has different name and configuration, so we must edit the build file to suit project. We must edit the project name and path In the build file.run nant

After doing what, count a command-line prospt, change path to ./build, and type nant. We can see a function list like this:

Now Nant Runs. We can Edit The Build File To Add New Features: Unit Testing, Packing, Deploying, ETC, as you like.

Project.build file content:

echo message = "release -> buildate =" deploy -> deploy the application "/> < ! - Compiles The Source Directory ->
