There should be spaces between the broan and red words, seems pasting from Word screws it up a bit. So the way this works is that you build your module in a folder away from the web site that will host the module. In my case the source is in C:\DotNetNuke\Help Module\Solution and the web site Im using is in C:\DotNetNuke\Releases\DotNetNuke_05.00.00_Install_BETA5 . So when I build this project the dlls, pdbs, resx, css, dnn and the ascx files are copied over to the web site into C:\DotNetNuke\Releases\DotNetNuke_05.00.00_Install_BETA5\DesktopModules\Help. This allows me to debug by navigating to the site and then attching to the w3p.exe process.
The copying over is done by the
<CopySourceFiles="@(Content)"DestinationFiles="@(Content -> '$(DNNDirectory)\DesktopModules\$(ModuleFolder)\%(Identity)')"SkipUnchangedFiles="true" />
<CopySourceFiles="@(ModuleAssemblies);@(ModuleDebug)"DestinationFolder="$(DNNDirectory)\bin" />
This says that any files marked as Content will be copied over plus the dlls and pdb files.
Next up the
<ZipFiles="@(Content);@(ModuleAssemblies)"Flatten="True"ZipFileName="$(ProjectName)_$(Major).$(Minor).$(Build)_Install.zip" />
gathers the Content files and the assemblies and packages them into a zip file for Installation.
Then all the files in the
<ItemGroup>
<ZipSourceFilesInclude="
are zipped up into the resources.zip file
<ZipFiles="@(ZipSourceFiles)"Flatten="True"ZipFileName="resources.zip" />
I then gatehr then resources.zip, the content files and the assemblies and create the Source zip:
<ZipFiles="@(Content);@(ModuleAssemblies);resources.zip"Flatten="True"ZipFileName="$(ProjectName)_$(Major).$(Minor).$(Build)_Source.zip" />
Once that is done I get the Install and the Source files and add in the two packageFiles which are the release notes and the tests to create the package file
<ZipFiles="@(PackageFiles);$(ProjectName)_$(Major).$(Minor).$(Build)_Install.zip;$(ProjectName)_$(Major).$(Minor).$(Build)_Source.zip"Flatten="True"ZipFileName="$(ProjectName)_$(Major).$(Minor).$(Build)_package.zip" />
Then copy the files to the PackageDirectory with
<CopySourceFiles="$(ProjectName)_$(Major).$(Minor).$(Build)_package.zip"DestinationFolder="$(PackageDirectory)" />
This occurs on each build. Ill probably fine tune this by getting the version out of the dnn file and only doing the packaging when the build is in release mode. However at this point all the files I need for the release process are created automatically and consistently which is what I wanted.

that is a very creative styling of your code ;-)

Re: Complete vbproj file for Help Module to explain the packaging in MSBuild
Works a treat, plus one of my Help team guys has some tweaks that pull the version from the dnn file that we'll add in soon.

Re: Complete vbproj file for Help Module to explain the packaging in MSBuild
The bummer for using this instead of nAnt is that you need to recopy all Include files, it does not reference automatically all project files.

Re: Complete vbproj file for Help Module to explain the packaging in MSBuild
Nestor that gives me an idea. I could probably ditch the ZipSourceFiles type and use the Compile type. Ill give it a go and see what happens.

Re: Complete vbproj file for Help Module to explain the packaging in MSBuild
Hello, I am getting follwoing error
Error 3 The "Zip" task was not found. Check the following: 1.) The name of the task in the project file is the same as the name of the task class. 2.) The task class is "public" and implements the Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask interface. 3.) The task is correctly declared with in the project file, or in the *.tasks files located in the "E:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5" directory. C:\DNN\DNN49\DesktopModules\bhattji.Catalogs\bhattji.Modules.Catalogs.csproj 456 5 bhattji.Modules.Catalogs
any help ?

Re: Complete vbproj file for Help Module to explain the packaging in MSBuild
IndianGuru you will need to install the MSBuild Community Tasks from here msbuildtasks.tigris.org/

Re: Complete vbproj file for Help Module to explain the packaging in MSBuild
Hey Phil, did you ever try to implement the Compile type? What you've done looks almost right up my alley as I'm trying to get a clean solution that doesn't require .target files or Nant files.

Re: Complete vbproj file for Help Module to explain the packaging in MSBuild
Thanks Phil, I just gave it a shot with my project and it seems to work. The only problem I've run into so far is that (this is on the first try) the directory structure wasn't remembered when creating the install.zip.

Re: Complete vbproj file for Help Module to explain the packaging in MSBuild
Figured it out Phil. It was the Flatten="True". This is great. Now I just need to get automatic build increments and I'm laughing.
