MSBuild is called when you click on the main menu Build -> Build Or Rebuild "Project Name".
Yes FernandoSoto. I think he wants to know more (details) because that is the normal procedure
Also under the main menu of the IDE Build -> Configuration Manager you can set the build to be Debug or Release build.
Yes jpaulino, it may be the normal process but not everyone knows that it is call from with in the IDE. MSBuild can also be run from the command line.

To your question, "How do i start create MSBuild project ??" When you create a project, lets say Visual Basic .Net, all the files that MSBuild need are created for you and are updated as you add to the project, so there are no new project you need to build to use MSBuild.
When you test your application the VS do the job for you all the time. Your EXE file is the result of that.

As you said it, you have build a project, and you test it pressing F5 ( that builds and run) or in menu build.
If you just want the changes in your EXE file you can just do build and your exe file is build.
If you just want the changes in your EXE file you can just do build and your exe file is build.
1. Create a project for your new application.
2. Add the controls and code that will satisfy the project requirements
3. Go to the main menu Build -> Configuration Manager. When the Configuration Manager window opens make sure that the "Active Solution Configuration" combo box is set to Debug. This will allow you to properly debug the application.
4. To run the application for debugging click on Build -> Build "Project Name"
5. When the build is complete click on the main menu Debug -> Start Debugging
6. When you have finished debugging the application go back to the Configuration Manager and set Active Configuration to Release.
7. Click on Build -> Build "Project Name" to have MSBuild rebuild the project for release
8. The Release files will be found in the bin/release directory of the project.
9. Now the project is ready for it to be deployed using a deployment application such as ClickOnce which is part of visual studio or any third party deployment tool.
