Set up CI and CD with TFS 2015\TFVC\VS2017 -

Hi,

I am so confused about setting up build defintion. We are using VS 2017 and TFVC. Now trying to set up TFS build automation. TFS build agent is set up by our system admin. Now I am trying to automate build for CI and CD.

I am not finding right step by step guide for setting up CI. In VS, I opened solution and project which is checked into TFVC. When I went to Team Explorer and clicked on Builds\Build Definitions\New Build Definition, it took me to web browser where I see my project under default collection. When I click on 'Set up build' button, it took me to a page of 'Select template'. I am not getting right documentation for step to step guide. In these templates I see many under featured. My application is asp.net web application. I see one for ASP.NET (PREVIEW) and under others I see another called ASP.NET with Containers. How do I know which one to choose. Why I am getting preview ones?

Please let me know the resources to create CI and CD in TFS 2015 for asp.net web application.

Thank You

Hello Prathiba,
Good afternoon. Based on your project you should select the Build Template. You can have two builds Gated/CI. Gated will get executed when someone raised the PR. CI build gets executed when the PR is approved and it generates the artifacts in drop location. CD will pickup the artifacts and get deployed. Could you please review the URL given at the bottom. If you need any additional assistance, please let me know. Many thanks.

Regards,
Swamy
