How to configure TFS2010 Build server to generate help using SHFB


I've googled a lot to try to find a solution but it seems like I'm missing something.

Most articles tells me that I should modify the build file (TfsBuild.proj). But I cant find that file anywhere. Googling around a bit more tells me that it has been replaced by a new build model in TFS2010?

And the official documentation for SHFB just says:

Modify your build file. This example uses a daily build to generate documentation:

It fails to mention what file and how.

Can someone be kind and shed some light in how I can configure our TFS Build Server to also generate documentation using Sandcastle Helpfile Builder?


Solution

  • The easiest way to do it is to just include the SHFB project file in the build configuration. The SHFB project files works just as any project file in Visual Studio.
