Eric,
We started using the newer try/catch tasks and removed that section. Here
is our current vb6.make task:
---------------------------------------
<target name="vb6.make">
<call target="vb6.fixvbp" />
<delete file="build.error"
if="${file::exists('build.error')}" />
<!-- write out ref file -->

'ExeName32')}" />
<if test="${string::get-length(tempexe32) == 0}">
<property name="tempexe32"
value="${vbp::getvalue(vbp, 'Name')}" />
</if>
<echo message="vbp: ${vbp}"/>
<echo message="srcroot: ${srcroot}"/>
<property name="exename32"
value="${string::substring(tempexe32, 1, string::get-length(tempexe32) -
2)}" />
<echo
file="${path::combine(path::combine(srcroot,project.module),
path::get-file-name-without-extension(exename32) + '.ref')}"
message="${vbp::get-references(path::combine(srcroot,vbp), 'projects.txt')}"
/>
<property name="conditional.compile" value="" />
<property name="conditional.compile" value="/D

<property name="conditional.compile" value="/D
RELEASETYPE=4" if="${release.type == '4'}" />
<property name="conditional.compile" value="/D
RELEASETYPE=5" if="${release.type == '5'}" />
<trycatch>
<try>
<exec program="vb6.exe"
commandline="/m
"${path::combine(srcroot,vbp)}" ${conditional.compile} /outdir
"${path::combine(srcroot,project.module)}" /out build.error"
resultproperty="vb6.result"
/>
</try>
<catch>
<!-- if this is not a library, then just
fail -->
<property name="vbp.type"
value="${vbp::getvalue(vbp, '^Type=.*')}" />
<if test="${string::contains('.OleDll.
.OleExe. .Control.', '.' + vbp.type + '.') == false}">
<fail message="vb6.exe failed. This
is not a library, cannot switch compatiblity modes."/>
</if>
<trycatch>
<try>
<trycatch>
<try>

<echo

<exec

commandline="/m "${path::combine(srcroot,vbp)}"
${conditional.compile} /outdir
"${path::combine(srcroot,project.module)}" /out build.error"
/>
</try>
<catch>
<!-- set
compatiblity back to binary -->
<echo
message="${vbp::setvalue(vbp, '^CompatibleMode=.*', '"2"')}"/>
<fail
message="vb6.exe failed. Not a binary problem?"/>
</catch>
</trycatch>
<!-- set compatiblity to
binary -->
<echo

<exec program="vb6.exe"
commandline="/m

---------------------------------------
You are correct in that custom function only loaded a file into a property
(there was an issue with the built in version at one time, it stripped the
last char, and I never went back to see if it got fixed).
As I said, I need to update my scripts on the ccnet site, I have lots of
really neat ones now :-) Including a set of tasks that create MSM files
from VBPs (with the dependencies set correct). Lots of automagic stuff.

John,
I ran into a function that you use in here that I
can't find in NAnt or NAntContrib called:
file::get-file
Is this your own custom function, and if so, can I get
a copy of it to put in the include file? Looks like
it just extracts the text out of the file it targets.
Thanks,
Eric
