TFS 2010, BuildAgent and MSBuild for changelog.txt with changeset?

If you're using TFS Build the Build Summary report will by default give you a list of associated changesets for that build (this is the list of changesets since the last successful build).

We use TFS 2010 with VS 2010 for our web projects (php). Since we do not actualy use . Proj files I have created my own to do builds (only zip files to output dir).

Also we use MSBuild community tasks. My msbuild. Proj for my web application (php) goes like this: My question is how to write Target "Changelog" that will create changelog.

Txt with all developer comments for all-time check-in files in TFS. If necesery I can modify DefaultTemplate. Xaml file and/or build definition.

BuildAgent is started as NETWORK SERVICE and places file on drop folder/network share. Visual-studio msbuild tfs2010 tfsbuild changelog link|improve this question asked Sep 7 '11 at 19:39DJ_Kukky407 40% accept rate.

If you're using TFS Build the Build Summary report will by default give you a list of associated changesets for that build (this is the list of changesets since the last successful build). If you want a list of all changesets since the beginning of time you're going to have to do some customization. You have two options, creating a custom MSBuild task, or creating a custom Build Workflow Activity.

I'd recommend the latter in this case as that is the new way of doing things in TFS 2010. Either approach is actually pretty straightforward. To create a custom workflow activity see this blog post to get you started: blogs.msdn.com/b/jimlamb/archive/2009/11... alternatively if you choose to go the MSBuild route here's a post to show you how to create a custom task: blogs.msdn.com/b/msbuild/archive/2006/01... and here's the reference for the TFS API method you'll probably want to call to get a list of changesets: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb138960.aspx.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
