.NET
In Winc we copy dll’s and pnl’s (compiled functions)
In C# we copy source files in order to track CR
After copying the sources we need to rebuild assemblies
Rebuild everything, relay on MS build for optimization (skip
unnecessary builds)

Simple scripts can be done with .cmd files
When pre/post processing is needed use NANT Tasks
– Versioning / Build Numbers
– Code Analysis
– Automated tests

Refresh Workspace
Create CA Plex Add-In to copy Assemblies to local environment
At any time developers can refresh their workspace with assemblies from the integration environment
COPY /Y "\\YourServer\Integration\Bld\Release\*.dll" C:\Locals\PLEX710\GEN_C#\Bld\Release\*.*
