TortoiseCVS/SLiNgshoT

I wanted to get hold of SLiNgshoT yesterday - this being a project that converts VS .NET solutions to NAnt build files. SLiNgshoT is part of NAntContrib which are plug-ins for NAnt.

(VB .NET users - note that SLiNgshoT only works with C# projects.)

Faced with a lack of a download link, I figured I could download a file from SourceForge's CVS repository.  Thanks very much to Jason Alexander who directed me to TortoiseCVS - a plug-in for Explorer.  This means those of use that can't remember how to use a command line interface don't need to tax our brains too much...

  • We had some problems with Slingshot. I do not remember the ones exactly, but we finally moved to hand-written scripts and the use of devenv.


    BTW, I don't remember whether there is a devenv taks for NAnt in NAntContrib. If you need it, let me know.


    Another option you've got is to write custom XSLT transformation for your project. I did it once for very big project, and it was rather good solution of the problems we faced with.

  • Actually, I've got a copy of a nice XSLT transform that I grabbed from someone else's site (I'll reference later; gotta remember who!). I also wrote a command line utility to wrap the transform in order to help automate things with Draco.NET/CruiseControl.





    Please let me know if you're interested! I'll be glad to share. :)
