Question

So I’ve got one solution that compiles to a C++ DLL
I’ve got another solution that is a WPF app.

Both of these solutions live in the same TeamProject on our TFS server.

I want to automate the build process so that when the C++ solution builds on the server, if it’s successful it automatically checks the result into the WPF solution.

Thanks in advance for the hep.

Answer 1

While I haven’t worked my whole way through the solution to this the correct place to start is with something like –

For a more comprehensive walktrhough on creating custom build templates:

Now I just need to figure out how to map the workspaces, setup the file outputs so that I can check the dlls back in, but the templates are now working.
