NAnt

NAnt (from “Not Ant”) is a free software development tool that allows the automation of the processes like code compiling, source linking, etc. It is similar to the widely popular Apache Ant solution, with the only difference in targeting the .Net environment instead of Java. Like other tools of the *Ant family, NAnt is based on a concept of using task classes and XML-based configuration files instead of shell-based commands, thereby improving product quality, accelerating the deployment and minimizing mistakes.
