    <p>I am trying to create a <code>Build Pipeline</code>. I am curious whether I am able to leverage the existing Microsoft publishing msbuild targets or whether I need to write my own from scratch.</p> <p>I have a large web <strong>site</strong> project (not web application).</p> <p>The build pipeline is as follows:</p> <ol> <li>Checkin Occurs</li> <li><code>CI</code> triggers build called <code>01 Commit Stage</code></li> <li><code>01 Commit Stage</code> automatically triggers <code>02 Prepare for deployment</code></li> <li><code>02 Prepare for deployment</code> automatically triggers <code>03 UAT</code></li> </ol> <p>Here is what I want to happen at each stage:</p> <ul> <li><strong>01 Commit Stage</strong> <ul> <li>All project files are built</li> <li>Unit Tests are run</li> <li>The website is run through the AspNet_Compiler</li> </ul></li> <li><strong>02 Prepare for deployment</strong> <ul> <li><em>Output from previous build is used</em></li> <li>Output is then run through AspNet_Merge.exe to merge the compiled dlls into a single versioned assembly.</li> <li>Store output artifacts as deployable</li> </ul></li> <li><strong>03 UAT</strong> <ul> <li>The artifacts from the previous step are deployed to QA for testing.</li> </ul></li> </ul> <p>My Question is:</p> <p><code>In the second build, how do I skip the build target and simply point the existing Microsoft publishing pipeline to the existing output? Or would I just be better building my own set of MSBuild targets to do exactly what I need?</code></p> <p>So far, I have had most joy with building my own pipeline, but can't help feel that I am missing out on some MS goodness.</p>

    1. COYou didn't mention what build process you're using. Is it the default build template of TFS? An MSBuild script? Which version of TFS are you using?

    2. COI am talking about the standard msbuild publish pipeline (Microsoft.WebSite.Publishing.targets). The version of TFS is not relevant.

    3. COThe version of TFS is very relevant as you would never build a release pipeline in MSBuild unless you have to. In 2005/2008 you have no choice but to endure the suffering that is MSBuild. In 2010/2012 you can use Windows Workflow and the out-of-box LabDefaultBuild to deploy to either Hyper-V or Standard environments. In 2013 MSFT have added a built in Release pipeline with approvals and validation steps.

A row detail

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.
