MSBuild Tigris tasks

Comments [0]

Previoiusly I wrote about the Microsoft SDC Tasks library, there is another great resource for MSBuild tasks. This is the MSBuild Tigris Tasks project. This is an open source project, so you can submit your tasks to this library as well. Tigris.org is known for their Source Control Management (SCM) tool, Subversion. I've used Subversion previously and was pleased with it, but my favorite is Team Foundation Server :) If you're using Subversion as your source control you'll be glad to find many task for accessing your repository. From the project's site here is a list of the MSBuild tasks that are either completed or currently under development.
