As the complexity of our mobile line of business applications increases,   it takes longer and longer to compile our applications.

Now I knew that Microsoft has this great new build tool called MSBuild inside Visual Studio 2008,  but I didn't know much about it.

Bottom line you can compile .Net applications from the command line.   Or more importantly have your application builds happening on another machine.

Documentation here -http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171452.aspx

This is what I have started doing.

Launch the Visual Studio 2008 Command prompt

Navigate to the folder where your project file is.

type msbuild  YOURPROJ.CSPROJ

and there you go,   it compiles your project...

I see that Chris Tacke is doing this too  http://blog.opennetcf.org/ctacke/SyndicationService.asmx/GetAtom
