UppercuT - Getting Started Part 4 (External Libraries / Tools)(ferventcoder.com)

submitted by ferventcoder(836) 2 years, 8 months ago

This is a small update into where you keep your external references. If you keep them where UppercuT defaults to, you can skip this step. It’s important to note that not everyone keeps their references to external libraries (lib) in the same location in source control. That’s fine, but it requires a little additional work. In the configuration, you will want to edit where to find the tools UppercuT references. read more...

UppercuT - Automated Builds - The ConfigBuilder(ferventcoder.com)

submitted by ferventcoder(836) 2 years, 8 months ago

UppercuT comes with ConfigBuilder. What is ConfigBuilder? ConfigBuilder will build a configuration file per environment so you no longer have to maintain a bunch of configuration files. In any project you have app.config (or web.config) files. You just create a .template file next to it. The web.config has a file next to it named web.config.template. What do you name the app.config template files? You have to name the file based on what app.config becomes when visual studio builds the application. read more...
