Re: [NAnt-users] MSBuild task and .NET 3.5
Bob, I seem to recall that as long as I executed the correct version of MSBuild from the command line (.NET 2.0 vs .NET 3.5), MSBuild 'did the right thing'. I can be certain that it worked in all cases as I was struggling with several issues simultaneously-in addition to moving to VS 2008 solutions and projects, I was also trying to get some newly minted C++ projects to build as well. As I go along, I will try to 'prove out' my theory about Nant and it's behavior with SDK Version 6.1 vs. 6.0A. There are some additional workstations here that haven't been fully upgraded to VS 2008 as yet and I can use them as 'guinea pigs'. I have yet as well to scan the registry to see what keys have changed that might affect Nant's interaction with the SDKs. TBD. I'll keep you posted. Thanks to all for your help.

I think I asked but you never answered... can you build the project using MSBuild on the command line of the machine you are having problems with? If so, it is not the SDK issue but a Nant one. The only IDE I have on my build server is VS6 to compile VB stuff with... ug. All my .Net 2.0 builds run fine just having .Net and .Net SDK's installed.

Wearing many hat and fighting fires, as I am sure you can all relate to. When I posted my original question, I had installed the Windows SDK for Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5. I believe this installed SDK Version 6.1. However, Nant 0.86 did not, would not work with .NET 3.5 with this version of the SDK. I tried cheating and hacking the registry, but still no luck. I then installed Visual Studio 2008 and in so doing, installed SDK Version 6.0A. Once I did this, Nant 0.86 began to work with .NET 3.5. I adjusted the framework tag as follows: frameworks platform name=win32 default=net-3.5 . . . /frameworks Then things began to work-finally. So, it appears that Nant Version 0.86 requires Version 6.0A of the SDK and that Version 6.1, even though it is 'supposedly' newer and supports .NET Framework 3.5, doesn't work. What I don't know and can't say for sure, is whether Nant Version 0.86 SHOULD be able to work with SDK Version 6.1. I just don't know enough about the differences between SDK to say for sure. As far as I can tell, when I ONLY had Version 6.1 of the SDK, the registry entries pointed to the right directories. I would prefer not to have to install Visual Studio 2008 on a target build machine just to get support for Nant Version 0.86 and the msbuild task. I'd rather just install the appropriate SDK. However, I cannot seem to find a separate installation of SDK Version 6.0A on Microsoft's web site. At this point, all my build scripts are functioning normally and I have full support for mixed builds of 2005 and 2008 solutions files. That's good. But, having had to install so many SDK on our build server, I have quickly running out of disk space. Having 3 SDKs and 2 IDEs on a build server should not be necessary-kind of a heavy-handed approach to this problem. Any additional thoughts or insights would be appreciated. Ken Parrish Gomez, Inc.

If I understand the question right, you should use a deployment project in your solution and once you have compiled the code, then compile the deployment project as well.

Re: [NAnt-users] MSBuild with Web Sites
I think there is a tool, the aspnet_compiler that will allow you to join all of these DLL's into a single DLL. You would probably need to call it after calling msbuild. The other option is to add a Web Deployment project, which I think is a wrapper around the aspnet_compiler. Then I believe MS build will run the web deployment project. The final option would be to move from a web site to a web application project type. But you do loose a small bit of functionality if using profiles.

Re: [NAnt-users] MSBuild with Web Sites
We do this on a regular basis. As Mr. Dix said, you will need to create a web deploy project and include it in your solution. Once you've created this project, in the Properties dialog box, there is a Output Assemblies option which gives you various options for deploying separate DLLs or merging them based on various criteria. Which option you choose depends on your enterprise deployment and update requirements. We often augment the web deploy project with additional Nant targets which deal with the combining and merging of other external resources which are not part of the project and solution definitions. You can also edit the MSBuild script (project file) generated by the web deploy project with custom commands--not for the feint of heart. Easier done in Nant, but an option just the same. You will need to pay close attention to the paths and locations for the runtime image generated by the web deploy project. Also, when using MSBuild via Nant, pay attention to the MSBuild temporary path the project options for your main web site project properties. Directory conflicts can occur that are not manifested when building within Visual Studio. Hope this helps. Ken Parrish Gomez, Inc.

Gary, can you add an example to the MSBuildTask.cs in NAntContrib ?

[NAnt-users] MSBuild task and setup/deployment projects
Some said the following back in May about MSBUILD: At any rate, VS2005 has MSBuild, so until the solution task is updated for 2005, you could just call MSBuild. this is what I'm doing, and works well. It also has the advantage of building ALL project types, including Setup/Deployment projects, which the solution task can't handle for 2003. When I use msbuild to build a solution I get these two warnings: [msbuild] C:\Builds\Build138\Kernel\RmtSvr\RmtSvr.sln : warning MSB4078: The project file Kit\RmtSvr_Kit.vdproj is not supported by MSBuild and cannot be built. [msbuild] C:\Builds\Build138\Kernel\RmtSvr\RmtSvr.sln : warning MSB4078: The project file KitOracle\DFR_Remoting_Svr_Orcl.vdproj is not supported by MSBuild and cannot be built. According to these warnings msbuild does not support building setup/deployment projects. What am I doing wrong or is this not supported by msbuild? Thanks, Chris - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [NAnt-users] MSBuild
Not sure what you mean about the configuration
property. The documentation of the msbuild task doesnt list a
configuration property. Is there one that isnt documented?

If you are using the msbuild task that I
