So, this is a question for everyone who had to integrate the assembly / compilation of legacy projects / code into the Team Build / MSBuild environment - in particular, Visual Basic 6 applications / projects.
Beyond writing a custom build task (in which I don't mind), are there any suggestions on how best to integrate compilation and versioning of old VB6 projects into MSBuild assemblies?
I am aware of the Freebuilder tasks for MySQL in CodePlex , but they have been removed right now.
Ideally, I look for the version and compile the code, and also collect compilation output (especially errors) for the msbuild log.
I saw advice on encapsulating this function in a custom task, but really wondered if anyone had tried a different solution (besides executing shell commands) - In fact, does anyone have a “cleaner” solution?
Ideally, the use of commands will be the last.
