Body
Scenario: I have a TFS Build (TFS2008) that has several targets override: BuildNumberOverrideTarget, AfterGet, BeforeCompileConfiguration, AfterCompileConfiguration, AfterCompile, AfterDropBuild and AfterEndToEndIteration. Everything works fine. But now I am porting all CI to Jenkins server. I use MSBuild plugin to invoke TFSBuild.proj using these parameters: <blockquote> /fileLogger /fileLoggerParameters:LogFile=TFSBuild_DesktopBuild.log;Create;Encoding=UTF-8;verbosity=normal /verbosity:normal </blockquote> Problem Description: My problem is that only some of the custom tasks are being executed: BeforeCompileConfiguration, AfterCompileConfiguration, AfterCompile. As you can see I need BuildNumberOverrideTarget, AfterGet, AfterDropBuild and AfterEndToEndIteration to be executed. It seems like only compile task and custom tasks about it are being executed. The build being triggered from TFS is treated as Non Desktop Build while the build being triggered from Jenkins is treated as Desktop Build. What I have tried until now. If I run the build from a local .cmd file, same behaviour happens. So I think is a problem with IsDesktopBuild property. Further reading of this <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181292%28v=vs.90%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">msdn link</a> gave me the clue to when read <blockquote> "Only the compilation and testing (if they are enabled) are performed" </blockquote> . So I have tried to add property myself to force a DesktopBuild: <blockquote> /fileLogger /fileLoggerParameters:LogFile=TFSBuild_DesktopBuild.log;Create;Encoding=UTF-8;verbosity=normal /verbosity:normal /property:IsDesktopBuild=true </blockquote> But behavior is the same, only executed tasks: BeforeCompileConfiguration, AfterCompileConfiguration, AfterCompile So my question is double: <ol> <li>Anyone know how to force a Desktop Build from command line? (Seems that /property:IsDesktopBuild=true is not enough)</li> <li>If IsDesktopBuild is not the problem, any idea of clue on why some custom tasks are not triggering?</li> </ol>

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
