| Nov 3, 2013 at 8:33 | comment | added | jgauffin | I use TeamCity and I still got some complex tasks running (test, building docs etc). I still use the solution file. You do realize that that article is six years old. Solution files do not look the same. Neither do the build process. | |
| Nov 3, 2013 at 6:31 | comment | added | DeepSpace101 | Segregation of the IDE (sln file) from the build is certainly a good SE design. Jeff's written about it at codinghorror.com/blog/2007/10/… if you desire details. Plus it's nice to fire up tests and even software packaging (setup.exe or msi) as part of the release build script instead of just compiling the build. | |
| Nov 2, 2013 at 8:34 | comment | added | jgauffin | I've been programming .NET for 10 years and I've never heard of that best practise (but I've seen it it some open source project). All my clients have always used the solution or project files in the build server. I would never use something else without a reason. And as far as I could tell you don't have a good reason and it just sounds like something that you have over heard. | |

So, why should we bother migrating from solution files to an MSBuild 'makefile'? First you have to tell u why you are even considering it? Isn't the solution file enough?
