Visual Studio nightly builds with different assemblies

Question

Hi folks,

here's the setting:

We're developing an extension for an ERP software and supporting different versions of it.
Each supported version needs different references. Today, we have four Visual Studio solutions to support four versions of the ERP software.

Is there a possibility to automate the build process with one solution and rotating referenced assemblies? E.g. with a nightly build?

I think NAnt or Jenkins could do so, but I couldn't find a helpful answer for this particular topic.

Thanks! :)

Solution 1

Create four projects in the solution, each having the specific settings appropriate to the target assembly. Then when you start a build of the solution it will build all the projects.

The solution contains already five projects (the software project is separated into five libraries). This would lead to 20 sub projects within the solution :)

Then use a batch file which gets started by the Windows scheduler.
