Use SandCastle after Build .sln (TeamBuild)

Dear VSoft,

Could you perhaps create for a little example of how to generate docs using sandcastle if I where to use teambuild. Teambuild uses the Build solution task which only needs a solution; How to hook sandcastle to that build task. I've tried to use the MRef task on a fileset defined as %dropshare%\*.dll but it doesn't work. Your sandcastle example provided is helping how to use it if you just point one .dll, but  doesn't show how to use it after a Build solution task.

Wow… absolutly no reply… am I doing something wrong? Was it an (obvious) stupid question?

Hi Michel

Sorry for the delay in replying, our domain controller died and we ended up having to rebuild the domain from scratch (don’t ask!), all the machines and virtual machines are working fine again… except for our TFS machine. So it looks like we are going to have to re-install TFS again (it usually takes a day or two to get it working properly).

You should be able to create a fileset and then use the fileset iterator to call sandcastle for each assembly. I’m no sandcastle expert so I’m not sure what else you may need to do for that.

If tried that and I am getting: Action error “SandCastle - MRefBuilder”: Error: The specified starting directory does not exist.

Are you still alive?

Alive and well thanks for asking.

I need more information, what settings are you specifying for sandcastle? Can you send your project file to support at finalbuilder dot com so we can try to replicate what is happening here.
