The linked SO question with ‘create N different configurations’ is certainly one option, but when I had a need for this I just added conditional DefineConstants elements, so in my Debug|x86 (for instance) after the existing DefineConstants for DEBUG;TRACE, I added these 2, checking the value in TFV that was set in the first PropertyGroup … Read more
The Visual Studio Build tools are a different download than the IDE. They appear to be a pretty small subset, and they’re called Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019 (download). You can use the GUI to do the installation, or you can script the installation of msbuild: vs_buildtools.exe –add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.MSBuildTools –quiet Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.MSBuildTools is a “wrapper” … Read more
You can add this to a <PropertyGroup> inside your csproj file to enforce copying NuGet assemblies to the build output: <CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>true</CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies> However, note that the build output (bin/Release/netcoreapp*/*) is not supposed to be portable and distributable, the output of dotnet publish is. But in your case, copying the assemblies to the build output is probably … Read more
To answer the title of the question (but not the question about the output you’re getting): Copying the following folder from your dev machine to your build server fixes this if it’s just web applications C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications Remove x86 according to how your build breaks. If you have other project types you will probably … Read more
One of the best ways to accomplish this is to create different build configurations in your project: <PropertyGroup Condition=” ‘$(Framework)’ == ‘NET20’ “> <DefineConstants>NET20</DefineConstants> <OutputPath>bin\$(Configuration)\$(Framework)</OutputPath> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup Condition=” ‘$(Framework)’ == ‘NET35’ “> <DefineConstants>NET35</DefineConstants> <OutputPath>bin\$(Configuration)\$(Framework)</OutputPath> </PropertyGroup> And in one of your default configurations: <Framework Condition=” ‘$(Framework)’ == ” “>NET35</Framework> Which would set the default if it … Read more
I agree with GarethJ – in VS2010 it is much easier to regenerate tt templates on each build. Oleg Sych’s blog describes how to do it. In short: Install Visual Studio SDK Install Visual Studio 2010 Modeling and Visualization SDK Open in text editor project file and add to the end of file but before … Read more
I just deal with it like this. Go to the properties of your reference and do this: Set “Copy local = false” Save Set “Copy local = true” Save and that’s it. Visual Studio 2010 doesn’t initially put: <private>True</private> in the reference tag and setting “copy local” to false causes it to create the tag. … Read more
From the readme word doc for RC1 (not indexed by google) ASP.NET Compiler Post-Build Step Currently, errors within a view file are not detected until run time. To let you detect these errors at compile time, ASP.NET MVC projects now include an MvcBuildViews property, which is disabled by default. To enable this property, open the … Read more
First off, there’s not really a question here, you just posted an error message with no context, is anything breaking? If so, what? You need to analyze the error message before asking your question. To start, the global assembly cache is a place on your machine that Windows uses to reference commonly used assemblies, so … Read more
