I have a C# solution which has 96 projects VS2008 and when i add Build VS .NET solution into FinalBuilder it runs for 10-15 minutes and finally fails to build. I try the same Solution in VS 2008 it finishes in 2 minutes successfully.
Please let me know if this is a known bug. I have 4 such solutions i need to add as part of the Build Process and i can't move forward. We have Final Builder 6.2.1074
Thanks
Arun

Hi Arun,
What’s the error message that the ‘Build [VS.NET](http://VS.NET) Solution’ action reports? As far as I know their are no known bugs with relate to the number of projects in a solution.
Regards,
Paul.

Hi Arun,
Are you able to build the solution using MSBuild (enable ‘Use MSBuild’ in the ‘Build [VS.Net](http://VS.Net) Solution’ action)? Do you have any plug ins installed in Visual Studio that could be interfering with the build process and what type of projects are contained in the solution?
Are you able to run the following from the command line without any errors?
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\[devenv.com](http://devenv.com) “” /build
Regards,
Paul.

Yes. It builds successfully.I found the problem, it was one of the Project that had a reference to ActiveX which was unchecked from building but FB was set to build all projects.
different topic:
How do i schedule FB to Build every night ?
Thanks for the help.

Hi Arun
There is a scheduler wizard on the Tools Menu. Also, you can use FinalBuilder server to manage your scheduled builds (and continuous integration).

FinalBuilder Professional includes a single user license for FinalBuilder Server. If you don’t want to use server you can still schedule builds from the scheduler wizard.

Thank you. I downloaded the Final Buidler Server but will evalute later first i have to get this scheduled build to work.
I open solution in VS 2008 and do a Build --\> Build succeed. I open FB and run Selected Action (same solution file) --\> it fails with a error about reference error.
I even tried running it thru the commandline devenv solution.sln /build and it succeeds. I am stuck.
Please help.
Thanks
Arun

Ignore my previous mail, I was able to get it to work by unchecking MSBuild option on one solution and checked on the other strange but it worked.
Also I would like to know how do i add timestamp in the email i send after the Build is done.
Thanks
Arun

Hi Arun,
You can use the ‘Get DateTime’ action to set the current date & time to a variable right before the send email action and then use the variable in the email.

Paul.
