[…] Before I built this, though, I looked around to see if someone had beaten me to the punch. I found a couple of plug-ins for Visual Studio (Jay Flowers‘ Studio hack and the Sharp Builder toolset) which would do basically what NAntRunner does, except from within the IDE. Why did I want a standalone interface, separate from Visual Studio? I am in the process of moving my company to automating our builds with CruiseControl, and NAnt is going to be a key piece to the overall solution. Several of our projects are not .NET, and therefore not in Visual Studio, so an IDE plug-in just wouldn’t be useful or appropriate across the board. […]

Hi,
this is a nice solution, but not flexible enough. I have a blog entry on how to leverage the same action with possibility to have a full command shell using VSCmdShell addin here http://weblogs.asp.net/sfeldman/archive/2008/01/02/nant-and-visual-studio-reporting-from-the-field-trip.aspx

I ran into some trouble with in attempting to set this up. The external tools list in the registry is 0 based and the external tools command list for keyboard shortcuts is 1 based.

In your example above, you should select Tools.ExternalCommand3 instead of Tools.ExternalCommand2 when mapping the keyboard shortcut.

This should be obvious since there is no Tools.ExternalCommand0, but it was not immediately obvious to me

[…] I have NAnt integrated into my IDE, VS.NET, with the external tools configuration and a key combo mapped to execute the command, Shift+Alt+N. This allows me to quickly edit and execute scripts. I also use CI Factory on most projects I am involved in. This magnifies how useful NAnt is in just getting stuff done for me. CI Factory includes many componetized NAnt targets and properties that are relevant to the solution you have open. This means that I can quickly call on those properties and targets to do work for me. As a build master I can quickly test and experiment with parts of the build scripts before publishing them to the build server. […]
