Hey guys just got my CI Server up and running but now I am having trouble finding documentation on using runners with MSBUILD and .NET projects in general. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great!!
This is a bit broad (but so is the question, heh), but the documentation for writing your .gitlab.yml is here.
You’ll probably want a specific image with all the build environment, etc, and will want to run a script that does all the building.
A ver minimal example:
image: some_docker_image_with_dotnet_tools
test:
script:
- build.sh
I’ve no dotnet-specific knowledge, but configuring the runner is pretty language agnostic in general.

Also minimal .gitlab-ci.ymlexample, but it worked for me:
test: script: - cmd.exe /C " "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" /p:Configuration=Release /t:Clean;Build;Zip Build.proj " && exit %%ERRORLEVEL%%
Runner is by default in the right working directory (root of the git clone), where my Build.proj file is located.

Do you know any docker image with msbuild, and .net framework 4.5+?

Hi guys,
I’ve had success with the mono image. It works for most cases when you need the .NET framework.
Here is my yml:
image: mono:4.4.0.182
build:
stage: build
script:
- nuget restore
- MONO_IOMAP=case xbuild /t:Build /p:Configuration=“Release” /p:Platform=“Any CPU” Solution.sln

It shows error:
Status: syntax is incorrect
Error: Unknown parameter: build
You should add indentations like the following code:
image: mono:4.4.0.182
build:
stage: build
script:
- nuget restore
- MONO_IOMAP=case xbuild /t:Build /p:Configuration="Release" /p:Platform="Any CPU" Solution.sln
I’ve got another problem. This script told me can’t find solution file under my folder.

Yes, found it right after posting this noob question 
But thanks.
Regarding your problem: Build agent expects your sln file to exist in the root of your repo. If it’s not the case. You should do “- cd PATH\TO\Solution” first line of your “script:” section. Also try to put solution file name in double quotes: MONO_IOMAP=case xbuild /t:Build /p:Configuration=“Release” /p:Platform=“Any CPU” "Solution.sln"

Thank you @pedromagueija for the script.
@shiny would you be so kind and add two additional spaces to your snippet in front of “stage: build”?
The script works for me very good (except for some compiler errors, but that is probably a nano issue after all)
Is there a similar command to run the Tests for the solution as well?

Hi Woozar,
I use the following:
- mono ./packages/NUnit.ConsoleRunner.3.2.1/tools/nunit3-console.exe ./Tests/bin/Release/Tests.dll /noresult
note that it requires a specific package (NUnit.ConsoleRunner) to be installed. Since I install it with nuget it’s automatically installed when calling.
- nuget restore
image: mono:4.4.0.182
build:
stage: build
script:
- nuget restore
- MONO_IOMAP=case xbuild /t:Build /p:Configuration="Release" /p:Platform="Any CPU" Solution.sln
- mono ./packages/NUnit.ConsoleRunner.3.2.1/tools/nunit3-console.exe ./Tests/bin/Release/Tests.dll /noresult
