Override the TFS Team Build OutDir – Part 2

I’ve already written about the MSBuild workaround using the property switch:

/p:GenerateProjectSpecificOutputFolder=true

You can read more about this here

But what is better than a workaround?

Finally with TFS 2013 (on-premise or visual studio online) Microsoft has removed lot’s of friction from TFS Build. Not only the whole Build workflow was refactored and simplified a lot.image

And yes, you will see the whole workflow in the screenshot, no more minutes of scrolling. But what I like most is the new workflow option:

Output location: AsConfigured, PerProject, SingleFolder

AsConfigured means, that TFS will consider your project settings, let’s call it “AsExpected”!
