In my prior blog post on this topic, I showed how to use the PowerShell Start-Process command to initiate the rebuild of a Visual Studio solution using MSBUILD. With today's post, I'll show how I've wrapped this call into a PowerShell function to make it more PowerShell friendly.

After participating in the 2011 Scripting Games, I started thinking that I could use PowerShell to automate the build process and cut the QA release time significantly. I've started developing some scripts to make this happen and through this article would like to start sharing some of the useful functions.
