Lately I've been trying to dig into the world of TFS Build Server with limited success. Primarily, it seems the documentation side of this coin is left to blogs and various MSDN articles. Things I thought would be simple to accomplish required some digging into the xml based project file for a build, re-ording the build sequence from the default added list, and finally bypassing a build error. The specific error was:
error MSB3491:
Could not write lines to file "obj\xxxx.csproj.FileList.txt". Access to the path 'PATH\xxxx\obj\xxxx.csproj.FileList.txt' is denied.
Luckily, this blog entry by Sven Cipido saved some time.
Overall, it's a very cool extensible tool but (at least for me) came at a price of digging around websites to figure out how to use it. The most comparable tool to this (difficulty getting my hands around without some guidance) was MIIS.
