Hello, Visual Studio 2008 uses its own solution file format, and different build systems like NAnt (and even some complex MSBuild cases) use their own. How do you keep them synchronized?

We have a "Main" branch and a "Dev" branch in source control; pretty common approach where developers work off of the Dev branch and merge changes to Main at set periods when the code has been unit tested and is ready for customer testing. We link Work Items like PBI's (Scrum) and require comments on checkins. Normally the TFS build rep...

I have an MSBuild Custom Task that writes content to some text file and the text that needs to be written is $(SomeText) thus MSBuild does not let this pass through because it is considered as properry reference. Any workaround. Many t...
I am using TFS Build to build my .net project. The TFS build produces an output file that lists all the errors and warnings that were generated. Is there a way (without implmenting a custom logger) to format the data that is output to this file (e.g. include full file path)? Thanks. ...

Here is what I have: <Target Name="BeforeBuild" > <Message Text="Before Build" /> </Target> I can’t see the message output in the build log when the build runs.
