Create Dynamic Steps in project

[sdornan]

Scenario: I have a web project that need to be built and deployed. This web project may continue to grow and grow over time, IE in the number of VS projects that will need to be compiled, number of virtual directories that need to be createdm etc.

Is it possible to perform steps such as create different numbers of directories, IIS virtual directories etc based on a macro file.
Such as the build project would read the macro file and build the appropriate number of directories, compile the referenced projects etc, that have been created in the macro file instead of having to create steps for each one inside the project, and then when a new directory or compile needs to be added, have to again add it manually in the project.

You can structure your project to read and iterate over data from a text file, XML file, database, etc.

You can also dynamically generate a .bld file from some inputs and build that.
