The Ant way to handle this is to assign a property
<property name="basename" value="HelloWorld" />
then later on your scripts can reference ${basename}  and the string value HelloWorld will be substituted in-

The xml parser you are using needs to know what is an end tag, start tag and value delimiters
so if you want to use special characters that the parser is already interpreting as predefined meta characters you need to use an escape mechanism
such as what is displayed from the XML/HTML cheatsheet

Subject: [Nant-users] <Solution> Task does not work with all VB projects

I've had a problem compiling some VB.Net projects. I debugged the source code and found it was because the VBC is being passed an invalid command line "/define:Win32 = True".See the following protion of my vbproj:

        <Config
                    Name = "Debug"
                    BaseAddress = "285212672"
                    ConfigurationOverrideFile = ""
                    DefineConstants = "Win32 = True"
                    DefineDebug = "true"
                    DefineTrace = "true"
                    DebugSymbols = "true"
                    IncrementalBuild = "true"
                    Optimize = "false"
                    OutputPath = "bin\"
                    RegisterForComInterop = "false"
                    RemoveIntegerChecks = "false"
                    TreatWarningsAsErrors = "false"
                    WarningLevel = "1"
                />

VBC does not like the spaces. Change it to  "/define:Win32=True" and the compilation works.

Thanks.Paul.
