Overview

Build Manager.Net is a build management tool that enables software developers and build/configuration managers to create an automated, repeatable solution for building and deploying applications built using all versions of Microsoft Visual Studio.

Building a multi-component solution is often a time consuming and frustrating exercise. Build Manager.Net drastically reduces the amount of time to build and deploy your solutions.
