Project DescriptionCI Build Tasks are a specialized set of msbuild tasks that encapsulate a few of our practices with continuous integration (CI) at Dotway. Currently there is only one practice included in the project but more can be added once time allows and as practices are identified as a recurring patterns.
Database TasksThe database build tasks are a group of MsBuild task that handle database code or scripts. Using a
defined folder layout for your database script files these tasks can create a database, install tables and views, constraints, testdata etc. There are also tasks for doing a clean, insert testdata and do updates.
This is an example usage where a database is installed, for example after a successfull build of the source:
<InstallDatabase
ConnectionString="Database=DatabaseBuildTask;Server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=true"
BaseDirectory="DatabaseScripts"
ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient"
CreateDatabase="true"
IncludeTestData="true" />
Unzip the files into the directory of your choice. Import the CIBuildTasks target into your msbuild file with the following statement:
<PropertyGroup>
<CIBuildTasksPath>path\to\CIBuildTasks\</CIBuildTasksPath>
</PropertyGroup>
<Import Project="path\to\CIBuildTasks\Dotway.BuildTasks.targets"/>

task list for a list of all tasks and their documentation.
