In this chapter, we will be looking at the build system in TFS. We will start off by looking at the XAML build system, and then take a look at the new build system that has been released with TFS 2015. We'll cover these topics:
What is an XAML build template?
Creating custom activities
Adding a custom activity to your build activity
A walkthrough of the new build system
For our XAML build sample, we will be creating a build activity that generates some very basic documentation. We will store our code samples in a Git repository, but will be building a project that resides in TFVC.
