Executing build tasks without a build server – Design

At work we run TFS2010 with build controllers, build agents and lab management. I have customised the build workflow so that we can get a lot more functionality out of the automated build process. Some of these customisations are things like:

    Finding the product version number
    Incrementing the product version number
    Updating the build name with the new product version
    Updating files prior to compilation
    Updating files after compilation
    Building Sandcastle documentation
    Deploying MSIs to remove servers
    Filtering drop folder output (no source, just build output like configuration files, documentation and MSIs)

I use CodePlex at home for my personal projects. This means that I don’t get all the goodness that comes with TFSBuild in 2010. I still want the automatic version management functionality listed above however. I have the following functionality requirements to make this happen:

    Determine the current product version number
