Inside the Microsoft Build Engine: Using MSBuild

and Team Foundation Build, Second Edition

“Inside the Microsoft Build Engine: Using MSBuild and Team Foundation Build is a practical book

covering all the essentials of MSBuild and the Team Foundation Server build system. But what

makes the book extra valuable is its focus on real-life scenarios that often are hard to ind a good,

working solution for. In fact there is information in the book you’re unlikely to ind anywhere else.

With the second edition of the book, the authors ill the gaps again, this time by covering the

new TFS build worklow technology as well as MSBuild 4.0. It is an invaluable book that saves lots

of time whenever you work with any aspect of automated builds in Visual Studio and TFS. This is

a book I’ll make sure to have with me all the time!”

-Mathias Olausson, ALM Consultant, QWise/Callista, Sweden

“As an ALM Consultant I come across many teams that are struggling with their build tools and

processes. The second edition of Sayed and William’s book is the perfect answer for these teams.

Not only will it show you how to get your builds back on track, I challenge anyone not to be able

to use the information in this book to improve their existing builds. It includes updated content

focusing on the new Visual Studio 2010 release and is packed with practical examples you could start

using straight away. You simply must include it in your technical library.”

-Anthony Borton, Microsoft Visual Studio ALM MVP, Senior ALM trainer/consultant,

Enhance ALM Pty Ltd, Australia

“The irst edition of Inside the Microsoft Build Engine was a brilliant look at the internals of MSBuild,

so it’s fantastic to see Sayed and William updating it with all the new features in MSBuild 4.0 and also

delving into the Team Foundation Server 2010 worklow based build process. It’s also a real pleasure

to see deployment with MSDeploy covered so that you can learn not only how to automate your

builds, but also how to automate your deployments. A great book. Go out and get a copy now.”

-Richard Banks, Visual Studio ALM MVP and Principal Consultant with Readify, Australia

“Did you know about the TaskFactory in MSBuild? If not, you’re not alone - but you will know

after reading this book. This book provides insights into the current technologies of the Microsoft

Build Engine. Starting with background information about MSBuild, it covers also the necessary

basics of Worklow Foundation which are applied during the description of advanced topics

of Team Foundation Build. The level of detail is targeted to experienced build masters having

a development background - even the overview is stuffed with new information, references, hints

and best practices about MSBuild. Samples are provided as step-by-step guidance easy to follow

inside Visual Studio. What I found astonishing is the practical focus of the samples such as web

project deployment. I could have used at least half of them in my development projects! Simply

put: A must read for all build experts that have to deal with MSBuild and the Team Foundation

Server build engine who are not only interested in solutions but also background information!”

-Sven Hubert, AIT TeamSystemPro Team, Consultant, MVP Visual Studio ALM – www.tfsblog.de

“The reason that I only own one MSBuild/Team Build book is because there is no need for another.

This book covers both topics from soup to nuts and is written in a way that allows new users to ramp

up quickly. The real-world code examples used to illustrate the topics are useful in their own right.

The Second Edition covers all of the changes in MSBuild 4.0 and all of the newness that is Team Build

2010. This is my ‘go to’ guide, and the only book on these topics that I recommend to my clients.”

-Steve St Jean, Visual Studio ALM MVP, DevProcess (ALM) Consultant with Notion

Solutions, an Imaginet Company

“Whether you consider yourself experienced or you are taking your irst steps in the build and

automation arena, this 2 nd edition will prove a valuable read. Skilled MSBuild users will do well

to remind themselves of the intricacies of MSBuild and learn of the new 4.0 features whilst

novices are taken on a steady paced journey to quickly acquire the knowledge and conidence

in developing successful solutions. This edition brings additional value to our ever changing

profession in discussing MSDeploy and the new Windows Worklow 4.0 based Team Foundation

Build. Regardless of your experience, I wholeheartedly recommend this book.”

-Mike Fourie, Visual Studio ALM MVP and ALM Ranger, United Kingdom

“The irst edition of this book had a perfect balance between a tutorial and a reference book.

I say this as I used the book irst to kick start my MS Build knowledge and then as reference

whenever I needed information on some advanced topic. My main interest is Team Foundation

Server and I learned MS Build more from necessity than an urge, hence I was very curious to

see the 2 nd edition. Sayed and William did not disappoint me - the four chapters on Team Build

cover all points needed to customize builds. As a bonus there are three whole chapters on web

deployment which is a recurrent request I hear during my consulting and presentations on TFS.

If I had to summarize my opinion in a single sentence, I would just say `Buy the book, you won’t

regret it’.”

-Tiago Pascoal, Visual Studio ALM MVP and Visual Studio ALM Ranger, Portugal

“Reliable and repeatable build processes are often the Achilles’ heel of development teams. Often

this is down to a lack of understanding of the underlying technologies and how they it together.

No matter which Continuous Integration (CI) tool you may be using, this book provides the

fundamental information you need to establish solid build and deployment engineering practices

and demystiies the various Microsoft technologies used along the way. This book is the essential

reference for any team building software on the Microsoft.NET platform.”

-Stuart Preston, Visual Studio ALM Ranger and Chief Technology Oficer at RippleRock

“Successfully deploying application is one of the big challenges in today’s modern software

development. As applications become more complex to develop, they also become more complex

to deploy. This well-written book provides us a deep-dive on how developers can improve

their productivity and accomplish the business needs using Microsoft deployment technology:

MSBuild, Web Deploy and Team Build. Microsoft provides us the right tools, and this book

provides us the information we need to extract real value from these tools.”

-Daniel Oliveira, MVP, Visual Studio ALM Ranger and ALM Consultant at TechResult

I would like to dedicate this book to my parents, Sayed A. Hashimi and Sohayla Hashimi, as well as my

college advisor, Dr. Ben Lok. My parents have, over the course of the years, sacriiced a lot to give us the

opportunity for us to be able to achieve our dreams. I can only hope that they are proud of the person

that I have become. When I irst met Ben, I wanted to get into a research program that he had going.

Thankfully, he was willing to accept me. Ben helped show me how rewarding hard work can be, and he

has enabled me to succeed in my career. When I look back on inluences in my life, who are not relatives,

he ranks at the top of my list. I am sure that I wouldn’t be where I am had it not been for him.

—Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi

To my mother, Rosanna O’Sullivan, and my father, Roy Bartholomew, for their unfaltering support in all

my endeavors.

I dedicate this book to my wife, Samantha, and my daughters, Amelie and Madeline, as well as my

I can accomplish anything.
