I'm trying to Build a .NET assembly which uses Crystal Reports on a build server without installing Visual Studio or the Crystal Reports Runtime. The version of Crystal Reports we are targeting in our code is the one that came along with Visual Studio 2008 and we are using MSBuild to build this project. I've copied what seems to be all...
I have the following code to build a project from another C# app: var buildEngine = new Engine(); buildEngine.RegisterLogger(new ConsoleLogger()); var success = buildEngine.BuildProjectFile(pathToCsProjFile); if(!success) { Log.LogIt("On Noes!

I am using the copy task inside the BeforeBuild event of the WIX project to collect some of the output of the references projects for later use my heat.exe.

The NAnt task for copying files allows you to specify a filterchain that modifies the files as they are copied, and this is usually used for replacing tokens in a template file with specific values (e.g. substituting in a build number). Does MSBuild have equivalent functionality in one of its built-in tasks, or one of the freely availab...

On our continous integration server (Teamcity 5.1.3) we have a msbuild script that is automatically building our applications. When we enable "Warning as error": in Visual Studio, it build fine (it ignores the methods within "*.designer.cs" files.

As the last step of my msbuild script I have to load a web page from the server I have just released and make sure it contains the correct version (it is enough to just check if the version is contained textually). What is the easiest way to do it in msbuild? ...

The projects all builds well and I have the outputs in one directory (Compil). In this directory i have all the dll's I want : MyTask.dll, ProjA.dll...
I have a build definition setup with a drop location. The binaries are moved into this location, but under a new directory (named as build number) every time. Is there a way to have the same location over written everytime. we have some batch files that copy the binaries out to multiple servers that will be accessed by the end users. We ...
The Wmi task is part of the MSBuild Extension Pack. On one of our development machines, it thrown ManagementException not found.

I have a solution with several projects in it that executes many custom build steps. Some projects depend on other projects, but most of the build steps are independent of each other. When building inside the VS 2010 IDE, I am getting errors like this: error MSB6003: The specified task executable "cmd.exe" could not be run. The proc...

Has anyone got the MSBuild Community Tasks or MSBuild Extension Pack working with Mono's xbuild? They both seem to have MSI installer, so I guess it's a case of manually transferring the files to the Mac (in my case)? If anyone's done it, I'd appreciate the benefit of his/her experience. ...

I am in the process of porting a NAnt build script to MSBuild 4.0 and I am seeing a rather interesting behaviour.
