Convert TFS 2013 xaml Build Definition in TFS 2015 vNext Build

Question

I have XAML-based build definitions and would like to convert them to vNext assemblies (we recently upgraded to TFS 2015). It can be done?

What is the most efficient way to convert an xaml assembly definition to a vNext assembly definition?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there will be no automatic conversion processes. But here are some pointers from Microsoft that may help you:

New builds are based on a different architecture and work on a completely different system.

and

You can use both new assemblies and agents along with your XAML assemblies, controllers, and agents.

and finally:

If you have highly customized XAML assemblies and custom actions, you can continue to use these assemblies until you have business logic in a script that can run in new assemblies.
