    In my larger projects, I started to create customized build.cmd batch files which themselves call command line tools like:

    • graspx to check .aspx files,
    • osql to generate C# code from an SQL Server database schema and backup the development database,
    • scptxfr to script the schema,
    • msbuild to build applications,
    • devenv to build setup solutions,
    • 7za (7-Zip) to zip stuff.

    An occasional IISReset also helps 😉
