OK, I see. I didnt know the CSC generated file was inadequate. Bummer. And while VS.net does so much in an IDE (but no fancy refactoring), it irritates me that you cant automate it into your build. Example: database driven web pages need to be reassembled every time you change the schema. > I did a little more digging today and found NDOC > (http://ndoc.sourceforge.net) and the corresponding NAnt task > (http://nant.sourceforge.net/help/tasks/ndoctask.html).

What I'd like to do would be to leverage the <defineset> and <libset> stuff of <cc> for .net defines and references -there is no point reinventing that stuff. But to do that, we'd have to pull the <cc> codebase in to ant's CVS tree. Do you think it is time?
