How to integrate NAnt with Visual Studio?

Question

I am just trying to connect to NAnt for my build processes and successfully have a script that sets the build directory and compiles the sln file into it. My question now, on a day to day basis, is how you can execute an NAnt script from Visual Studio. I'm used to just pressing Ctrl + Shift + B and then just updating my browser (I have a local site setting pointing to the project folder), but what is the best way to link the NAnt script to VS?

Many thanks

Depends on what you want to do with it.

You can add it as a post / pre build event if this is your thing (I do this for some things), but I mainly use NAnt to build the buildserver on the server, so it is not very useful for the local machine.
