Well, I'm a NAnt newbie myself, but I can give you some pointers.
The ${...} construct is used to evaluate an expression, not just get the

a mixed environment with some .NET apps and older legacy VB6 apps -
most apps with SQL Server as a back-end.

Hi Sandeep.
I've done something similar to what you describe - but entirely in NAnt.
No external configuration file.
I can't post my .build file, but it worked something like this:
First, create targets that set properties to describe your target
environments.
In my case, I had these targets:
Hi Thomas.
Depending on whether a target is defined or not I
want to perform certain operations.
I don't know of any way to check to see if a particular target *is
going* to be called - but you can define a property to tell if it *has*
been run.
The checkin target will ONLY run when the

Hi Anders.
Just a thought ...
Is your SQL script stored as a Unicode file, or an ASCII
one?
I've seen problems before when an ASCII file containing high-ascii
characters (with codes over 127) is processed by a .NET program. Changing the
file to a Unicode UTF-8 format fixed the issues.
I haven't had your exact issue - but hopefully this will help.
I've had some issues with running MSBuild from within NAnt that were
resolved by setting the workingdir property on the exec task.
Good luck!
Bevan.

Hi Deepak.
I had a quick look at your script and you are trying to run every script
with a single invocation of SQLCMD.exe.
You may be running into a limitation on the maximum length of a command
line, or into some other limitation of SQLCMD.exe.
I've always used a foreach to run my database

Some things to check ...

strange ways]
Two thoughts come to mind - both long shots.

really deep, so deep the path exceeds 200 odd characters, you could have
a problem.

I use NAnt because it does so much more than just build assemblies – my build

compilation of MSI packages, archival of builds to network directories and more.

Fwiw, I've found the csc task too limiting.
Instead I use exec to run msbuild for either the whole solution or a specific
