I'm just trying to get into NAnt for my build processes, and successfully have a script that sets up a build dir, and compiles a sln file into it. My question now is, on a day to day basis how would you execute the NAnt script from Visual Studio. I'm used to just hitting Ctrl + Shift + B and then just refreshing my browser (I have a local site setup pointing to the project folder), but whats the best way to intergrate the NAnt script with VS?
Many thanks

NAnt is a free and open source software tool for automating software build processes. It is similar to Apache Ant, but targeted at the . NET environment rather than Java.
nant. Runs NAnt and builds the project in debug mode (the default). nant clean. Runs NAnt and removes the compiled files if they exist. nant -D:debug=false.
Depends what you want to do with it.
You can add it as a post/pre build event, if that's your thing (I do that for some things), but mostly I use NAnt to build on the buildserver, so it doesn't serve much purpose on the local machine.
