I've worked on a couple of projects for Microsoft UK - one of the many great aspects of those projects was being able to use some very cool internal tools; my two favourites being the pre-cursors to Team Foundation Server (Product Studio + Source Depot) and StyleCop - which is to source code what FxCop is to binaries.

The guys at Microsoft Services UK have created a new GDN workspace for the latest incarnation of the SDC Tasks for MSBuild - basically all the tasks that were in the old SDC Build tools have been re-written for MSBuild. There are several other MSBuild Task community efforts going on at the moment - such as the MSBuild Community Tasks Project for ...

There has been a lot of great information over at Andrew's blog about testing and build systems, but this has mainly been focused around NAnt - I prefer the SDC Build Tools, mainly for it's innate support for MS applications such as Commerce Server, Biztalk 2004, IIS 6 etc. So following on from my Making Code Coverage more palatable with ...
