    <p>I've done a similar investigation this week. Here's what I've been able to determine:</p> <p><strong>NAnt:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Cross-platform (supports Linux/Mono). It may be handy for installing a web site to multiple targets (that is, Linux Apache and Windows IIS), for example.</li> <li>95% similar in syntax to Ant (easy for current Ant users or Java builders to pick up)</li> <li>Integration with NUnit for running unit tests as part of the build, and with NDoc for producting documentation.</li> </ul> <p><strong>MSBuild:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Built-in to .NET.</li> <li>Integrated with Visual Studio</li> <li>Easy to get started with MSBuild in Visual Studio - it's all behind the scenes. If you want to get deeper, you can hand edit the files.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Subjective Differences:</strong> <em>(YMMV)</em></p> <ul> <li>NAnt documentation is a little more straightforward. For example, the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7z253716.aspx" rel="noreferrer">MSBuild Task Reference</a> lists "Csc Task - Describes the Csc task and its parameters. " (thanks for the "help"?), vs the <a href="http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/latest/help/tasks/" rel="noreferrer">NAnt Task Reference</a> "csc - Compiles C# programs." <strong><em>UPDATE:</em></strong> I've noticed the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7z253716.aspx" rel="noreferrer">MSBuild documentation</a> has been improved and is much better now (probably on par with NAnt).</li> <li>Not easy to figure out how to edit the build script source (*.*proj file) directly from within Visual Studio. With NAnt I just have Visual Studio treat the .build script as an XML file.</li> <li>Apparently, in Visual Studio, Web Application Projects don't get a *.*proj file by default, so I had great difficulty figuring out how to even get MSBuild to run on mine to create a deployment script.</li> <li>NAnt is not built-in to Visual Studio and has to be added, either with an Add-In, or as an "External Tool". This is a bit of a pain to set up.</li> <li>(Edit:) One of my coworkers brought this up--if you want to set up a build machine using <a href="http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">CruiseControl</a> for continuous integration, CruiseControl integrates with NAnt nicely out of the box. <strong><em>UPDATE:</em></strong> CruiseControl also has an <a href="http://www.cruisecontrolnet.org/projects/ccnet/wiki/MsBuild_Task" rel="noreferrer">MSBuild task</a>.</li> <li><em>Please see comments below for full and up-to-date discussion of subjective differences.</em></li> </ul>

    2. CO@Yordan: or just put your customizations into a separate .build file (or whatever) and import+execute that from your .csproj file. Then you only have to edit the .csproj once, and can add the .build file to your solution. Double-click and you're editing like any other file. Can map .build files to XML editor in your options.

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.
