Build Multiple Projects in a Single Solution for VSTS

Question

I'm in this case, I have a single solution built on Visual Studio 2013. It contains more than 10 projects that reference each others, I need only to build and release 3 projects of them on Azure via Visual Studio Team Services so the question is what is the best approach to do this

Thank you

If they all reference each other than you may need to build all of them. Dependencies will be resolved at build time.

You can reference individual Project files in place of a Solution. You will then need to maintain order yourself.

Just use the same build step for building a Solution, but fill out a Project (.proj) file instead. Control the order by having multiple build steps.

For the second alternative how can I do that, I mean which build step type could I use to build each project a side all this being said, how to also take consideration of the projet dependencies in this case, I assume that it is not enough to only maintain the order. Could you please propose a walkthough in clear steps thank you MrHinsh – user2050269 Dec 07 '16 at 13:46
I updates old the answer. You use the same build step. – MrHinsh - Martin Hinshelwood Dec 09 '16 at 07:18

Please read my Suggestions below- - Copy all the references dll's in one shared folder through Post build event. - Create new solution according to your deployment needs and take all references from the shared folder in all projects. - Deploy the solution you want

If the references are project references, you just need to specify the solution file (.sln) to build, otherwise, you need to specify project dependence (Right click your solution=> Project Dependence=>Select a project=>Check the projects’ options that dependence to)

Stars in, this is not an answer o the question asked. This is about Team Build! – MrHinsh - Martin Hinshelwood Dec 09 '16 at 07:19
