Re: [Nant-users] solution task and clean target

depending on your usage, it might be that the directories list is pretty static, however one advantage of the solution file is that you can change the list of dependent projects that are included - in this case, you have to make sure you mirror the changes both in the project file and in the NAnt script. 

also, if you make changes in how you build/install/package up your projects (maybe some use non-default directories, or have additional pre/post build steps, etc), it would be nice to not have to go change your NAnt scripts also - it would be great if there was some property or value exposed from the solution task or somewhere that gave you the list/location of the bin/obj directories as specified in the .NET solution/project files, so that even if you had to write NAnt script to parse that property and delete the list of dircetories, at least you'd know that you were removing the right things, since there would be a single source of the data in question.

it's not impossible to do manually, of couse, but it's one more thing that has to be included and done manually, since it's a separate config file for a separate tool, and thus it's something that can be forgotten, so if it were possible to automate, it would be less error prone.
