devenv - command line visual studio .net building


Aparently there are quite a few people who aren't aware of the command line functionality provided by visual studio .net. They needed to throw developers a bone anyway as they removed makefile exporting. You can even use installshield from the command line. All this rampant functionality comes in handy when you want to automate product builds involving non-homogeneous toolsets.

There are of course other ways to build .net apps, nant is a very nice ant-like tool but it only works well with managed code.
