I am writing a nAnt script and need to get the parent directory. I have used:

<property name="perforceWS" value="${project::get-base-directory()}"/>

this returns the current directory. How can I get the property to be the parent's directory?

Assuming You mean the parent directory of the project directory (the directory where the NAnt build script is located) this is the answer:

<property
  name="perforceWS"
  value="${directory::get-parent-directory(project::get-base-directory())}"/>
