Hi
I am using nant-0.90-alpha1 to build asp.net 3.5 web site. I am unable do that. When I am using msbuild , it throwing error saying unknown tag msbuild.
How can I build asp.net 3.5 website using nant?
Thanks

A:
The <msbuild> task must be imported into your build script. Put the following element somewhere within your <project> element.
<project ...>
<loadtasks assembly="C:\Program Files\NAntContrib\NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.dll"/>
...
</project>
I believe NAnt will also pick up additional task libraries if the dlls are placed in the NAnt bin folder.

A:
The CodeCampServer project provides good examples for a variety of tasks using nant to build MS projects including using MSBuild. However it doesn't use the msbuild task. Here's an excerpt from the common.build file from CodeCampServer:
<target name="compile" depends="init">
<echo message="Build Directory is ${dir.build}" />
<exec program="${framework::get-framework-directory(framework::get-target-framework())}\msbuild.exe"
commandline="${file.solution} /t:Clean /p:Configuration=${project.config} /v:q" workingdir="." />
<exec program="${framework::get-framework-directory(framework::get-target-framework())}\msbuild.exe"
commandline="${file.solution} /t:Rebuild /p:Configuration=${project.config} /v:q" workingdir="." />
</target>
