I can see the point behind this, and to an extent I agree: if a feature is
broken and there's no intention of fixing it then it
should simply be removed, because otherwise people (like me - see my
earlier post) are going to waste a lot of time trying to
get something to work that just won't.
Is there any tool out there that is open source or free that is an
alternative to nant pad? Bascially looking for a nant editor.
There used to be some instructions somewhere in the NAnt docs for using
Visual Studio 2003 for this. That way, you could use the same editor

And I'll chime in with kudos on that chapter (and the book in general).
I've successfully written several tasks now using Marc's book as a

does not work as I expect. Besides, since it also just make an exec
call
it is has the same effect.
Are you talking about the NAntContrib VB6 task? If
property name=Project.Name
value=${environment::get-variable(PROJECTS)} /
Try this instead:
property name=Project.Name
value=${environment::get-variable('PROJECTS')} /
The single quotation mark tells NAnt that the value is literal, rather
than a property.
I'm trying to remove spaces from a string and use it
as a property. Any clue why the following won't work:
project name=test default=default
property name=myString value=String With Spaces/
target name=default
property name=stringNoSpace value=${string::trim(myString)}/
My understanding was that this release supported VS 2005. Am I missing
something here?

I could have sworn that I saw a task in either NAnt or NAntContrib that
