True - but then you actually need the IDE installed on that machine. With the CSPROJ task, you only need the free C# compiler (as in, you don't need a VS.Net license for your build machine).

Re: [nant-dev] New task idea
At my company, we want to use NAnt for its build automation features, but we're also a bunch VS.Net users. Having to create a separate NAnt project is a bit of drag - even worse is keeping it synchronized with the VS.Net project as it evolves. Slingshot helps, of course, but a task that builds directly from the VS.Net project file would be even nicer. Of course, VBPROJ and VCPROJ tasks would likely follow. Since I separated the core SLiNgshoT code into a separate assembly, it shouldn't be too hard to re-use the code in there that parses .sln and .csproj files. It would be even easier to have it convert the solution to a build file in some temporary directory behind the scenes and then invoke a nant task on that.

Re: [nant-dev] New task idea
What part of the SDK creates and/or interprets .csproj files? It doesn't. In order to create the .csproj, you need VS.Net. At build time, the CSPROJ task would interpret that file directly (no devenv needed) and call the freely-available-in-the-SDK csc compiler. While the developers would use VS.Net to create the project, the builder wouldn't need it to perform the build. I also suspect that the actually build would be faster than an DEVENV task, since you don't need to launch the rather beastly IDE. --- Brad Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Kevin Dente wrote: True - but then you actually need the IDE installed on that machine.

RE: [nant-dev] New task idea
From a different point of view a task that would create a .xxproj from a portion of a build file would also be very cool. I've been using nant to build C++ projects but I like working in the VS IDE. I use nant for all the building via an external tool hookup but I also have a fake project so that I can easily launch the debugger and give a clue to VS.NET as to what files to parse for intellisense. --- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber - The world's fastest growing real-time communications platform!

this is a reply to the whole topic...sorta...I think :) I would like to see NAnt fully integrated into the MS IDE.

Re: [nant-dev] New task idea
I've been working on something along the same lines, except that we're doing C# and C++. Essentially, there's a build file which uses the style task to convert a .csproj file to .build, then uses the nant task to build it. I'm amusing myself so much with this that I'll probably finish it whether or not anybody else would actually use it :-) One other approach that I've thought of would be to do this via the VS Automation API or a VS.NET macro. That API's a little flaky, but I think it gives you enough to mirror a solution in a .build. -Original Message- Actually, What we did is write an xslt transformation that converts a vbproj to a nant build file. So, in our scenario the master build file performs the transform, which outputs a .build file, executes it, then returns control back to the master build file. It works really well, and the transform is blazingly fast...

RE: [nant-dev] New task idea
One of the features I wanted to add to the NAnt VS.Net Addin that Jayme wrote was the ability to create a NAnt build file from the current project. It would be pretty simple using slingshot, or an xslt transform. Also, NAnt can now work (in the last few months) with in-memory build documents. This means you can programmatically, via a stream or the document directly, create a build file. I've also written a simple xslt transform, much like Don has done, to convert a project file into a NAnt build file. There is no reason this can't be done completely in memory and executed immediately. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:nant-developers- [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ian MacLean Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 3:14 PM To: Browning, Don Cc: NAnt Developers Subject: Re: [nant-dev] New task idea Someone has already done it.

I like this idea of adding functionality to VS.Net by replacing their build facilities. What I really want is the VS.Net IDE where the build was done by NAnt. This way I could do anything I wanted.
