I am currently using Visual Studio 2008 and ReSharper 5.0. Would like to know after installing the plugin for TeamCity with Visual Studio, how can I integrate ReSharper and Teamcity, since both are under JetBrains. And would like to know how ReSharper and TeamCity can work together to improve finding errors once the code cannot compile together?
ReSharper doesn't currently integrate with TeamCity.
Relevant feature requests in JetBrains issue tracker include RSRP-162275: Standalone command-line tool to run inspections etc, to plug in to build-script and TW-11084: Integration for ReSharper command-line inspections tool

I'm new to .net and want to use a build tool for my project. I'm reading about MSBUILD and other options but recently came to know that Visual studio projects are MS Build scripts.
So, that makes me think, should I really use MSBUILD for Visual studio projects ?
Visual Studio uses MSBuild under the hood and the project system is based on it.
There are a few other tools that help with .NET builds, like Cake, but for the most important part, they also call MSBuild (but help you to script it for complex scenarios).
There really isn't an alternative to MSBuild since all tools (VS, JetBrains Rider, OmniSharp (/VSCode)) require it to understand C#/VB.NET projects.

Obviously, we can also use devenv.exe, csc.exe or other compilers for Visual Studio projects except MSBuild. But just as Martin`s answer, all tools (VS, JetBrains Rider, OmniSharp (/VSCode)) require it to understand C#/VB.NET projects. And Visual Studio hosts MSBuild to load and build managed projects. Because MSBuild is responsible for the project, almost any project in the MSBuild format can be successfully used in Visual Studio.
With MSBuild, you could build projects on a build server for .NET apps without Visual Studio.
Besides, MSBuild will give you significant flexibility in choosing what technologies you use to implement continuous integration. And custom MSBuild tasks will give you even more flexibility in implementing custom builds.
What more, If Visual Studio Team System is in your future, applications built using MSBuild will be much easier to move into that environment than those built via alternative means.
Though, we can build Visual Studio project by using other ways, it is absolutely a good idea to use MSBuild for Visual Studio projects.
Hope this can help you.
We're running TeamCity 9.0.3 and have had Visual Studio 2010, 2012 & 2013 full install on our build server for years now.
I know for a fact that we need certain Visual Studio targets in order to deploy our applications but I'm convinced we don't need to have a full Visual Studio installation in order to use the Visual Studio (sln) build runner but can't find any documentation to say whether or not we do need it.
Can anyone show me documentation or verify from their own experience whether or not a full Visual Studio install is needed for this build runner to work?
Edit: I have seen this question:
Does MSbuild require Visual Studio to be installed on the build server?
And mine is not the same question, it's a different topic. That question is asking whether or not Visual Studio is needed to as a prerequisite for the MSBuild build runner. My question pertains to the Visual Studio build runner
Roughly speaking, by installing Windows SDKs you get what's required to build applications.
Windows 7 SDK
Windows 8.1 SDK
Windows 10 SDK
Multi targeting packs are also required if you use that.
Starting from Visual Studio 2013, you also need to install the separate MSBuild 2013. And MSBuild 2015.
C++ might require you to install other bits.
So you will have to go through lots of trials. Most people simply give up and install full VS.
You don't need full Visual Studio Installed for running the build, all you need are the build tools.
In the "Step" you create to build your solution, the dropdown allows you to select which version of Microsoft builds you want to use where you can specify whether you use MSBuild12 or the latest MSBuild14 for VS2015 projects.
All you have to do is make sure that you install the required Microsoft Build tools in this instance:
Build tools for 2010, 2012 and 2013. The TC build step should then try detecting this install by default in C:/Program Files (x86)/MS Build/Build Tool Number/MSBuild.exe
Note: You will have to restart your agent after you install these tools on the Agent Machine for TeamCity to detect the tools.
The Visual Studio (sln) build runner requires the proper version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed on the build agent.

Just want to know whether msbuild is built in teamcity or teamcity uses the installed msbuild.exe on your build machine. I have no visual studio installed on my build machine. Little bit confused as where to locate msbuild.exe on machine if no visual studio installed.
Also requirements of msdeploy on client machine. Plz clarify.
TeamCity does not provide the compilers for any language, just the integration support to bring those tools together. For MSBuild specifically, you'll need the .NET framework installed, or Visual Studio:
MSBuild ships as part of the .NET Framework, starting with v2.0 in Visual Studio 2005 and updated in v3.5 with Visual Studio 2008.
Alternatively, you can make use of the Mono support that TeamCity provides to go down that road.
I have found how to integrate StyleCop and FxCop with Hudson, but what about Visual Studio Code Analysis? Can't it also be integrated into Hudson?
Visual Studio Code Analysis is simply an extended version of FxCop. If you want to include the addition rules shipped with VS Code Analysis, run FxCopCmd.exe from your VS installation instead of from a stand-alone FxCop installation.
Unless someone has created a plugin for this specific purpose, you'll either have to write your own or you're out of luck. Having StyleCop and FxCop covers a lot though, so I wouldn't worry too much.
Are there any plugins for Visual Studio 2010 that allow to work with Youtrack directly from the IDE?
The short answer is "no".
However, you can vote for these two feature requests, and chances are we'll find a way to integrate YouTrack with VS in one way or another.
