title: Do I have to use a solution file with a Team Build definition?
body: <p>Our application uses a combination of ASP.NET and Flex platforms.</p>
  
  <p>I am able to successfully use the build service to build and deploy the .NET web site. That works fine. However, we also have our ActionScript files in TFS and I've created a batch file to successfully compile the ActionScript from the command-line.</p>
  
  <p>I want to create two separate build definitions for the ASP.NET and Flex compilation. Flex obviously doesn't have an SLN file--can I create a build definition file from scratch to support the Flex compile batch file without a solution file? The tasks are fairly simple to create (see below), but I've never built a customized Team Build script without using the Create wizard--and the Create wizard expects you to supply a solution file, which I don't have.</p>
  
  <p>My build script would be very straight-forward:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Get the latest version of the ActionScript files</li>
  <li>Run the ActionScript compile batch file</li>
  <li>Copy the ActionScript files to the deploy folder</li>
  </ol>
