AzureFabric Task for MSBuild

An Azure dev fabric MSBuild task

This is an Azure dev fabric task for MSBuild, which can be used to start the Windows Azure emulator during build. The emulator will only be started if it is not already.

Usage

To use, first include the task in your MSBuild project file:

<UsingTask AssemblyFile="AzureFabricTask.dll" TaskName="AzureFabric" />

The task will automatically try to find the Windows Azure SDK installation on your machine via the Windows Registry. If you'd like to use a custom install location, you can specify one via the SdkDir property.

The task requires MSBuild v4.0 or later.

Minimal Example

<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <UsingTask AssemblyFile="AzureFabricTask.dll" TaskName="FxCop"/>
  
  <Target Name="StartFabric">
    <AzureFabric />
  </Target>
</Project>
