There is more to building an application than pressing F5. MSBuild comes with the .NET Framework and is extensible. See how
Microsoft MVP Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi
extends the build process programmatically, by talking to Twitter upon a successful build. This is an incredible demo. Consistency is a good thing.
What is it? MSBuild Extensibility... this example keeps everyone updated on the status of the build via MSBuild and Twitter!
Download Site: MSBuild is included with the .NET Framework and can be installed from http://www.microsoft.com/web/
Example Problem(s) it solves:
MSBuild allows developers and build masters to completely customize their build process.
Installation Notes: Use the Web Application Installer: www.microsoft.com/web

Very nice demo.. Please include how to run the project in the resources.. ie. the command line arg..Or please reply here.. Thanks
Hi,
First you should download the samples and build the sample solution (Sedo.MSBuild.TwitterLogger.sln). When you build it dll Sedo.MSBuild.Loggers.dll should be created. Then here is a sample command to attach the logger to the build for your project.
msbuild WindowsFormsApplication1.csproj /l:TwitterLogger,C:\temp\Sedo.MSBuild.TwitterLogger\Sedo.MSBuild.TwitterLogger\bin\Debug\Sedo.MSBuild.Loggers.dll;Username=YOUR_USER_NAME;Password=YOUR_PASSWORD
Note these things about that command
This is the name of the project being built. Since it is in the same folder path was left off
This is the path to the folder which contains the assembly just built (Sedo.MSBuild.Loggers.dll)
Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi
