Using Sandcastle August CTP and MSBuild to produce CHM documentation automatically

First, we created a cmd file to do the build for us. Syntax for calling the file is Build.cmd "PathToBinaries" "Name of the documentation" (more on this later)

There is also a configuration file we're using referenced in our call to BuildAssembler.exe; here is that

Now we have to hook it up to MSBuild. Within the TFSProj.proj file, a new target was created called by an override to the Team Build AfterDrop target

 <PropertyGroup>
     <SandcastleDocumentDirectory>$(TEMP)\SandcastleDocument</SandcastleDocumentDirectory>
 </PropertyGroup>
 <Target Name="SandcastleDocument">    
     <CreateProperty Value="MyDocumentation">
       <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="SandcastleDocumentationName"/>
     </CreateProperty>
     <RemoveDir Condition="Exists('$(SandcastleDocumentDirectory)')" Directories="$(SandcastleDocumentDirectory)" ContinueOnError="false"/>
     <MakeDir Directories="$(SandcastleDocumentDirectory)" ContinueOnError="false" />
     <CreateItem Include="$(SolutionRoot)\Sandcastle\Aug 2006 CTP\Build.cmd">
       <Output ItemName="SandcastleBuildScript" TaskParameter="Include"/>
     </CreateItem>
     <Copy SourceFiles="@(SandcastleBuildScript)" DestinationFiles="@(SandcastleBuildScript -> '$(SandcastleDocumentDirectory)\Build.cmd')" ContinueOnError="false" />

 

     <CreateItem Include="$(SolutionRoot)\Sandcastle\Aug 2006 CTP\sandcastle.config">
       <Output ItemName="SandcastleConfiguration" TaskParameter="Include"/>
     </CreateItem>
     <Copy SourceFiles="@(SandcastleConfiguration)" DestinationFiles="@(SandcastleConfiguration -> '$(SandcastleDocumentDirectory)\sandcastle.config')" ContinueOnError="false" />

 

     <MakeDir Directories="$(SandcastleDocumentDirectory)\Documentation" ContinueOnError="false"/>
     <CreateItem Include="$(BinariesRoot)\x86\Debug\*.xml">

     <Exec WorkingDirectory="$(SandcastleDocumentDirectory)" Command="Build.cmd &quot;$(BinariesRoot)\x86\Debug&quot; $(SandcastleDocumentationName)" ContinueOnError="false" />

 

     <CreateItem Include="$(SandcastleDocumentDirectory)\output\$(SandcastleDocumentationName).chm" ContinueOnError="false">

     </CreateItem>
     <MakeDir Condition="!Exists('$(BinariesRoot)\Documentation')" Directories="$(BinariesRoot)\Documentation" ContinueOnError="false" />
