Automating build file creation

[james28x]

Is there any way to control the order in which files are processed in the 'processed files' task? I have to build in a certain order due to dependencies.

No, they are always processed in the order returned by FindFirstFile/FindNextFile (which is alphabetic for NTFS and order of creation for FAT, IIRC).

If you have the list of files to process in the correct order, you could use the technique described here to iterate over the list: http://www.kinook.com/Forum/showthread.php?threadid=231

Thanks for the reply. I think I'm just going to create "build" solutions in VS.Net and let them take care of the project dependencies.
